Beer Review – Pike Stout Extra Stout
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on February 27, 2010
Name: Pike Stout Extra Stout
Origin: USA, Washingotn
Style: Stout (6.6% ABV)
Appearance: Black. This beer is a black that would make Guiness blush just a little. Nice foamy, tan head. Dissapates quickly.
Taste: Immediately I can note some hickory-like flavours in this beer. Some sweet, honey flavours are also quite noticeable. Like most stouts there are the standard bitter coffee-ish flavours, but they are overwhelmed by other stronger flavours, such as the hickory.
Mouth Feel: Soft, foamy and rather filling. The hickory notes linger long after each drink
Final Thoughts (3.5 out of 5): I like hickory, though in my beer I am at a crossroads. I they add character and enjoyment to this beer, but I found they lingered far too long. All-in-all a very solid drinking stout, though I have to admit it left me more parched then quenched.
