If the dispensary was going to have a grand reopening, you just know that there had to be a beer they were offering on tap that you wouldn't just find everyday. Seems that the owner was hoarding a keg of Epic's Big Bad Baptist and although I currently own a bottle of this magical elixir, I was itching at the chance to try it without taking advantage of my own stash. My buddy that let me sample his beard beer highly recommended the beer and I knew that I was going to enjoy it.
The beer was poured into a small 12 oz highball glass and came with half a finger of mocha head. The beer had the color of used motor oil. It looked thick, smelled wonderful, with aromas of oak, coffee, cocoa.
Yes folks, it tastes as good as it looks. Heavy espresso and mocha notes a lingering sweetness that makes this beer qualify as a dessert beer. Little to no detection of booze. You can hurt yourself with this beer. Heavy bodied with solid carbonation, the balance is strong with this one. I'm probably a little biased, especially since I'm big into coffee and chocolate stouts, but this is definitely one of the better beers that I've ever had. Highly recommend. Agree or disagree? Let me know what you think!
Grade: A
Price Paid: $7.00 (10 oz draught)
