100 BEST ’14: WHITE COFFEE STOUT at BIG ALICE BREWING

White Coffee Stout from BIG ALICE BREWING COMPANY

One of the most interesting beers I’ve tasted this year, the White Coffee Stout is a bit of a misnomer but it’s certainly exciting. The blonde colored beer releases the same sort of roasty, coffee flavors you expect from a dark stout. Here, it’s both creamy and light while rich and sweet. It’s as exciting and mind-boggling as a Black IPA. Fun stuff.
