 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break Another new brewery that we've not done on here before this one comes from the West Coast it is worthy brewing out of Bend, Oregon and What we have here is something that sounds very very delicious. It is their lights out vanilla cream Extrast out so I'm assuming that means like an imperial double whatever People play with the words of the styles, so it's all good 7.7% alcohol by volume Really hoping this pans out the way I want it to because vanilla cream extra stout just sounds so good So good. Let's pop this sucker. I almost wanted to just smell it straight out of there I refrain all right, so Looks like a stout. It doesn't look like an imperial stout though because I can see through it on the edges where there's like a little reddish Coloration to it, but it's pretty dark overall You know like a tannish head to it Can't really see too much. You can see a little bit at the bottom there like the reddish tinge anyway hmm smells very malty I'm not really smelling any of the vanilla cream I mean I smelled that it's got like kind of a lactic creaminess to it so that's where the cream comes in but Not really smelling a whole lot of vanilla in there It does smell a little bit like sunflower seed husks You know a little bit little maybe of like an alfalfa type note on there as well actually This beer is not super fresh either. Just to let people know It's like a year old to be honest, but stouts typically should be fine I don't know some of the vanilla may very well drop out of this because it's a year old But you know that was on me. It's not the brewery. I didn't just pick this up I've had this sitting Where I hadn't seen it so one of my big issues with accidental beer aging, so let's try this Yeah, it's super thin at the moment. It's really thin It's got almost a little bit of a Sweet with you know like sometimes when beers are like really sweet at the end They're kind of like have a little bit of a tartness to them as well There's some roastiness on it a little bit of a creaminess as well really Don't get the vanilla well actually a slight slight slight bit on the very end of that last sip I got just Just a little is tenious bit There's probably some of my fault to be had on this one for sure I can't know, you know definite, but sorry that makes this review a little bit of dud Because it is a year old and the vanilla may have kind of fallen out So I'm gonna have to try and see if I can get some more worthy beer to give them a good shot But at any rate I would say it's not bad. It's okay But I'd say this review is kind of inconclusive because of the age on the beer But anyway If you guys have any ideas on beers you want to see a brutal battle podcast at gmail.com.
