Sunday Morning Stout from Weyebacher

Breakfast of champions.

Sunday Morning Stout is a rare coffee stout from Weyerbacher Brewing, located in Easton PA. We were really lucky to try this beer, from its first barrel to ever hit Western Pa. Harris Grill was super awesome for supporting this event and having an awesome brunch for Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week.

Taste:

This tasted like coffee, well coffee with some beer in it. Not like burnt American coffee that’s been sitting for hours on a hot plate, but like good fresh coffee. It wasn't overly roasted and had some interesting mild caramel flavors. The first flavor to hit is definitely coffee and then a nice malt profile comes through. It definitely had a coffee aftertaste as well, it wasn't heavy but it lingered around for a while. It wasn't heavily carbonated and it didn't start out with a thick head and the head disappeared pretty quickly. The mouthfeel was even like coffee, not watery coffee, but a good cup of joe. If it wasn't cold and I didn't know I was drinking beer, I would definitely think I was drinking a cup of coffee. It felt like the perfect way to finish brunch, it earned its name.

Rating:

If you're a fan of coffee stouts, this rates five pints. Even if you're not a particular fan it's still at least a solid four. It is a rare beer; this was the first barrel that has even come out to western PA. I usually don’t like coffee stouts but I am a big fan of this one.
