Athletic Brewing, out of Connecticut, is no stranger to Happy Every Hour, but this time, instead of an IPA or a Pale Ale, we’re going dark. Extra dark. Extra awesome and dark. Athletic Brewing never disappoints and it’s getting cold, so let’s get warmed up.
How Does It Pour?
This week is Athletic Brewings All Out Stout. This is one of the many stout options available to all of you beautiful people, with more and more coming to fruition each passing year! This stout pours a hearty dark brown color with a perfect caramel head. The aromas of coffee and chocolate dance at the top of the glass readying your mouth for a party.
How Does It Taste?
At first flavor blast, Athletic Brewing hits you with those roasty full-flavored mouths feels. The hint of chocolate and coffee becomes a little symphony in your mouth as the All Out Stout attempts to court your tongue with its decadent flavors. This one is a keeper for the whole season!
I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll say it again, Athletic Brewing’s All Out Stout is the perfect stout to experiment with if you want to add in some extra flavors. All you need is a French press and some imagination! So go chop up some habanero peppers and grind up some espresso beans and make something cool!
Untappd gives Athletic Brewing’s All Out Stout a 3.4 out of 5, and I think you will give it two thumbs up! You can even order it online and have it shipped to your doorstep! If I had to rate this beer, it would be a 9.7 out of 13.
