Year of New Beer: Tiramiss You, Rock House Brewing (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 06/09/2020

OK, first of all, tiramisu is probably my favorite dessert of all-time, so maybe a little power of suggestion is at play here. But I don't think so. While the rum barrel is the wildcard, I believe it works very well with this flavor combination. Lots of rum on the nose, but a decent amount of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla as well. The subtleties of the dessert begin to pop with warmth. On the tongue, rum is again at the forefront, but it doesn't take long for the cocoa powder to step up, offering a nice counter to the lactose sweetness. Really hits on the dessert profile along the middle before tapering off to a rum-heavy finish. Very tasty. Glad I opted for two of these. We miss you too, Rock House!
