This coffee stout would be a nice introductory beer for your friend who likes coffee but also happens to drink Coors Light (Or Bud Light, Miller Light, whatever-Lite).
Having the widget to release nitrogen is a fun little new experience for the uninitiated and offers this beer a smoothness that reminds of espresso and an appearance that makes you think of Starbucks foam. The downside is that it’s so smooth that the body leaves a little to be desired.
You get a good amount of coffee note–think dark roast–that could leave you wanting to drink this first thing in the morning. It’s not an astounding beer, but for its price point, it’s a solid choice for lovers of the bean.
