Terrapin Beer Company Wake-n-Bake
What the brewers say
“Black as night, this coffee stout is thick, rich, and full of real coffee flavor. A unique blend of coffee produces a robust and flavorful beer that will leave you asking, ‘Why not beer for breakfast?’”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Dark roast coffee and roasted malt. Biscuity, toasted rich malt in the background. Spicy alcohol. Mild chocolate.”
Flavor: “Coffee-forward, followed by roast malt and alcohol. Medium hops bitterness complements roast notes. Starts quite sweet and transitions to a moderately intense acrid bitterness that’s emphasized by the medium high carbonation. The alcohol brings out a nice nuttiness and accentuates the cocoa highlights. Pleasant caramel, too.”
Overall: “Well-crafted beer. The balance of coffee and malt is nice. Alcohol warming is pleasant.”
