Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #15 - Cherry Bean Coffee Stout


Brewery - Brau Brothers Brewing Company, Lucan, Minnesota

Beer - Cherry Bean Coffee Stout
Style - American Stout (made with coffee beans)
ABV - 7.5%
Color - Black with a tan head
Aroma - Roasted coffee beans, chocolate, hint of fruit
Flavor - Sweet malt, touch of cherry, dark chocolate, coffee bitterness
Verdict - Very good stuff, especially if you like stouts and coffee. Beautifully rich mouthfeel with coffee aromas and flavors balanced perfectly with a sweet malt backbone. I would drink this all the time if it was available year-round.
