All Jittery Over This Beer
I enjoy coffee. Most days I have a couple of cups. Besides tasting great, it wakes me up and helps me get going. I love the aroma of a fresh cup of coffee in my hands. Well, in my tour of Stouts this Winter, I’ve had some very good beers that have a strong coffee component. I thought I would try yet another, Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout, brewed by Terrapin Beer Company and made with coffee from Jittery Joe’s, which is based in Athens, GA just like Terrapin:
This beer from Terrapin is amazing! I had this beer a little more than a year ago and remember liking it then but this time around I LOVED it 
It pours nice with a mocha colored head that sticks around and leaves good lacing. The coffee component of the beer is just about perfect with a smooth roasted coffee aroma that fills your nose right before you taste the beer. There is a strong coffee component to the taste but also a nice malt and slight bittersweet chocolate flavor that reminds you that you are drinking a beer, not coffee. There is no real bitter/acidic flavors, just nice dark roasted coffee goodness. Drinkability is very good, especially considering the 8.1% ABV. The beer goes down very easily and without a bitter aftertaste. I was very impressed with the Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout and I think you will be as well. Try this beer now!!!
