Beer BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: ANGELS IN THE STOUTFIELD at MIKKELLER BREWING NYC

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

There were a lot of beers to choose from at the brand spanking new brewery at Citi Field. Mikkeller NYC has over 30 of their housemate beers on tap (and more brewed in other locations). So I really lucked out when I chose the cleverly named Angels in the Stoutfield. This big and bold (12% ABV) Imperial stout was deceptively smooth with a creamy texture that worked well with the cocoa powder and baking spice notes. Think hot chocolate in a cold beer. Price: $8/can
