just an idea

Despite the high temperatures, and sleepless early mornings they cause, I can't stay away from my stouts.  This one looked especially interesting, with an addition of hazelnut and cocoa.  This is a collaboration between Mad Brewing and Guinea, champions of beer making, so the prospects are good with this brew.

There's a pretty strong, heavy sweet hazelnut aroma.  It's similar to a lot of stouts with vanilla or similar flavorings.  The beer is a good, opaque color, probably more brown than black.  Not very foamy.  Stouty at first, but tempered with the sweetness of the hazelnut.  That's actually a little bit sharp, like you find with some sweet drinks.  More than merely sweet, there's a sourness that sneaks around, tending to hang out until the aftertaste.  It's a very subtle flavor, though, and quite nice in a drink that could have gone syrupy and heavy.  The beer itself feels substantial in the mouth, although it's very easy to swallow, with no drag or stickiness.  I might go so far as to say creamy.  This is practically liquid Nutella.

Got them some cosmic nuts, there
