Just had the saison from Firestone-Walker. Not bad. Not at Saison Dupont level though. Not much of an aroma. Good solid taste. Little alcohol heavy for me. Thanks to the Verdugo Bar for having it on tap.
Hitachino Espresso Stout – reviewed
As promised, I uncapped the Espresso the other day. Very dark pour. Great foam. Very picturesque. Since I have Portland roots, I have had a few coffee porters and this one is just as good. Rich and malty without an alcohol bite. Perfect for a cold night or a nice cut of steak. It is expensive but it will not dissapoint.
What I am Drinking now
Pricewise, this is a good deal for a mild Belgian / bock style. Sweet and a bit malty. Not overpowering. Could use a little more malt to boost the flavor profile up. What I would call a borderline good beer.
