I recently discovered the beauty of Sierra Nevada beers. I realize I am a little late to the scene, but I was busy enjoying lesser known (at least to me) breweries. Yesterday I glanced at the Wasatch Mountains and realized my favorite time of the year is upon us. Football is in full swing, leaves are changing colors, and the nights are a little cooler.
The Sierra Nevada Stout is a dream in a glass. It simmingly encoumpasses all of my favorite smells and flavors of Fall in one bottle. The smell alone is almost enough to make me realize the brewers at Sierra Nevada are world-class. The suttle notes of raisen are overwhelmed by the roasted malt. The initial taste instantly relaxes me in my chair. The sweet malty flavors are balanced well with a slight bittering that ends with a dry coffee note on the tongue. The mouth-feel is rich and creamy. At 5.8% alcohol, this certainly is not a big stout, but is not to be taken lightly.
