Year of New Beer: Handlebar Double Stout, Christian Moerlein Brewing (Cincinnati)
Written By: Dion on 03/07/2015
An aroma that's loaded with coffee bean, bitter chocolate and traces of caramel transitions nicely to the tongue. Charred wood and wisps of smoke join an earthy hop bite. Despite its appearance, this isn't a heavy beer at all, and the over 8% abv is superbly hidden. Christian Moerlein has stepped up their game with these last few can releases.
