Long Valley Cup of Joe’s Coffee Stout

Brewed by Long Valley Pub and Brewery
Style: Stout
Long Valley, New Jersey USA

On nitro at the pub. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a medium creamy tab head that laced. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, nuts and light caramel notes. Flavor of the same. More coffee in aroma than flavor. Kind of thin, bitterness low but appropriate for the style.

Draught at the pub. Pitch (or near-pitch, at least) with no head, perfectly flat. Heavy roast coffee beans nose. Very watery body, roast taste recedes and fades away, there’s no bite and there’s definitely no carbonation. Still, it’s by far the best of the bunch I tried on this trip.
