5igmund says Mochachinobeerlatte
February 19th, 2008
This beer tasted like something I would get at my local starbucks only with an alcohol content. Let’s be clear, I am *not* a coffee fan. But, I actually liked this beer’s deep mocha flavor as it was balanced with a nice sweet flavor. This beer was a nice change of pace from last week’s Surly debacle. This beer did not crack my top 20 favorite beers but it was enjoyable. I tried this beer from the bottle and not on tap. I thought the 1pint 6oz bottle may just be *way* too much but I found that it was the perfect size to drink. Though I prefer .5l bottles so I can fit it all in my Augustiner .5l ceramic mug.
All in all – good work Flat Earth, I enjoyed this beer.
