 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today. We're doing yet another beer from the brewery out of Placentia, California They also list Orange County on there, which you know, that's the county obviously but This is a sixteen point three percent alcohol by volume beer It is called white mocha and it's basically a variation on their very popular white chocolate Which is a wheat wine. So in this instance, it is a wheat wine That's bourbon barrel aged with cocoa nibs and coffee. So sounds good. I did like the white mocha when I had it It was a nice easy beer for being bourbon barrel aged and being super high alcohol So I think the addition of that coffee in here will be quite nice But we'll find out for sure Little foily doohickey on here Which sometimes kind of tough to get off Not gonna lie. Oh, I went too bad. I don't know if that's because it wasn't too hard or I just wasn't as dumb this time Oh, I can already smelled the bourbon as soon as I pop that cap off a waft of bourbon Scent just hit my nose Which is a good thing Just a little bit There's the white mocha label. All right, so It looks very dark, you know, it's kind of an orange brownish orange coloration can't see anything through it It's very very hazy so you can see there's a nice head to it partially because of the way I poured it Big bubbles on the top a little beige in the coloration for the head. Oh There's a lot a lot a lot of bourbon on that but there's also a lot of cocoa nib in there The coffee is very present as well But the the bourbon and the cocoa nibs are what move this aside a little the bourbon and the cocoa nibs are what? dominate the most in the nose at least right now and it's almost kind of fudgy with those cocoa nibs too and With the bourbon coming in as well It's kind of like chocolate and caramel coming together and then there's that coffee that kind of sits on the end of the aroma And you can smell that wheaty wheat wine definitely smells high in ABV almost Kind of tickles my throat when I'm breathing in And that alcohol vapor is kind of hitting back of my throat. So it kind of tickles a bit But good stuff. Let's uh go So velvety Okay The way it lays on my tongue like I was saying it's very velvety. It's very soft It's kind of just delicately goes on. It's kind of thick You know, it's like a medium body to it though, but like, you know, like maybe medium heavy type body There's a lot of burn to it on the end because it is sixteen point three percent But it's not crazy and I I'm assuming that as I keep sipping it that burns gonna kind of come down a little bit And how much it's affecting my palate and back of my throat There's a little bit of a there's a decent sweetness on it and almost a little bit of a tartness on the end But there's a lot a lot a lot a lot of that bourbon which is coming off with like some oaky notes a lot of caramel aspect in there sweet And then you're getting that kind of like fudgy cocoa nib that's coming in after that and then you're finishing out with the coffee So the flavor is a lot like the aroma, which is always a great thing for me I always hate it when you get a really nice aroma, and then it doesn't deliver on the flavor Do I think the aroma is better than the flavor? I do and that happens a lot of time with craft beers, but you know, it's normal Is it still good? It is still quite good quite good, which I expect from the brewery.
