Craig Bacon is drinking a Snowed In - Mocha by Copper Kettle Brewing Company at Jeffers Handbell Supply
2021. Opaque black body w/creamy rusted-mocha foam, lots of splotchy lacing. Aroma of dusty cocoa and day-old coffee, wafting ethanol. Palate integrates sweet cold brew w/fudgy corner brownie, hints of oak, silky not roasty. Feints sweet but evens out.

Fiery-amber w/fluffy off-white foam. Aroma of clove, bubblegum, fresh white oak, twiggy red berries, low malty sweetness. Palate deftly balances gentle phenolics w/light fruity & malty sweetness. The almost-creamy texture takes this over the top.

Lovely dark brown w/khaki foam, slight metallic smell at first that blows off, aroma of roasted grain & bitter brownie corner cocoa. Palate is full, rich but dry roastiness & chocolate. A little sweet to finish. No pastry & it's so fine.
