 Thanks for joining me as I move this for a brutal battle beer break Realized it was obstructing my my face and my beautiful face that you want to see Anyway, we got a beer here brewery I don't think we talk about a whole lot on the podcast or on the brutal battle beer breaks But it's a well established brewery. It's southern tier brewing out of Lakewood, New York and this beer is their chocolate or orange, which is a Stout with chocolate and orange peel and then natural flavors it says and there's actually a much longer list of what's in it Which I'll read in a minute. It's 10% alcohol by volume. You can see look chocolate or orange and it says here They use two-row malt caramel malt debittered black malt chocolate malt orange peels bittersweet Belgian chocolate Columbus hops and then natural flavor whoever knows what That means but anyway typically been a been a fan of their bigger beers when they do them. They had the Their crumbly leg which is really nice very very sweet, but very good So definitely a sipper and then their chocolate lot, which is also quite nice So interested to see how this one is Obviously it looks like a stout. It's very dark A little slight reddish tinge around the edges, but pretty brown otherwise the head when you swirl it up is nice and beige and It's got some legs You can definitely tell just by looking at it slowly coming down off the glass when you swirl it up Let's you know that 10% is definitely there. Oh Wow, okay The chocolate is very present in this beer It just hits you right up front, but it's also mixed with that orange. The orange is very very very Zesty, I wasn't expecting to get the orange that much because it's just orange peel Wow, yeah, it's just like a chocolate orange if you've ever had those chocolate orange things that actually are shaped like oranges And then you whack them to break them. It smells a lot like that Smells good The first thing I noticed is it doesn't quite taste like 10% alcohol. It tastes less, which is dangerous and which is good Plenty of chocolate on that like bittersweet. Yeah, like it said in there bittersweet chocolate Very nice because it's a medium. It's like right in between dark and milk chocolate That's nice. And then you have that orange just kind of laying on top of it the whole way through each taste This is pretty solid beer If you don't like the idea of orange with chocolate you probably will not like this that said It's not a crazy amount of orange with chocolate on the nose It smells like it's gonna be a lot more than the actual flavor It's definitely there and it's pleasant, but it's not overpowering. Yeah, you get tons of chocolate with this beer This one can be kind of dangerous because like I said, it does not taste like 10% Southern tier once again with the big beers. It's a good one I'm actually feeling a little bit of the burn at the moment. Just so you know Let's you know that is 10% but when you're just taking sips doesn't taste like it Anyway, thank you everyone for checking this out Thank you to Southern tier for making some nice beers and everyone go ahead and check out What's in your fridge go get yourself an awesome beer
