Neustadt Springs Texas Tea Stout

Brewed by Neustadt Springs Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Neustadt, Canada

A deep dark stout with a thin moka head. Aroma of chocolate nougat, with light honey notes. In mouth, a nice lightly bitter chocolate, very sustained, with nice sweet honey in beginning, nutty notes. Medium bodied. On tap at Wellington Gastropub, June 16 2009.

[2070-20090403] Cask. Car tire roasted malt aroma with a mild fruitiness. Black body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head and some thick lacing. Boozy black and thick flavour has roasted malt and heavy wood undertones with a long aftertaste of tea. Full body. Good, but annoying aftertaste.

Nose: Light roasted character with brown malts and darker finish. 6+

Big coffee nose, roasted malt, chocolate and toffee, black, tiny toffee head. Flavour has loads of coffee, malt and chocolate. Medium bodied, well balanced, bitter and bold. Very good rendition.

Sample on tap at Volo. The beer definitely stays true to its name. Don’t expect anything strong. The tea flavour is like a hybrid between Darjeeling and a Nestle Iced Tea. Rest of the body is fairly light, with a sweet tea-fermented doughy flavour (worst description ever!). Worth a try.

On tap at the King Edward in Ilderton, ON- A very deep and dark opaque motor oil pour, almost black. Pours a frothy and long lived finger of mocha froth. Nose of cocoa, molasses, roasted malts, fresh floral hops, some coffee and some vanilla. Tastes quite sweet. Of chocolate covered coffee beans, honey, fruits, roasted malts, again with the fresh hops. This is very creamy and downright drinkable. A pleasant surprise on my latest visit to the King Edward. Thanks for getting this on Rich and Deb! This is the best beer from Neustadt thus far.

Cask at Volo. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with an average size mostly-lasting fizzy tan head. Slightly mild but pleasant aroma has a hint of red wine, mild roasted malt and green hops -- it’s almost Brown Ale-ish. Flavour of lightly roasted malt, light green hops and some coffee. The finish is iffy -- like black tea when the teabag was left in too long. Average to medium bodied. Pretty good overall.
