This month was a little different, but still special. Due to unforseen circumstances, we only had two selections this month, Schlafly's Coffee Stout and Goose Island's 2011 Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout (BCBCS). Both beers were in the coffee stout family, but both were so different from each other we couldn't pick a winner. If you wanted something that you could share and drink slowly in front of your fireplace, we would suggest the super complex, big BCBCS (14% ABV). If you wanted something that you could have two or more and still function afterwards, we would suggest the Schlafly Coffee Stout. Both have a very good quality coffee flavor as well. Schlafly partnered up with Kahldi's Coffee, a local coffee powerhouse, to make their Coffee Stout.
In future months, expect to see some other fun themes coming out of St. Louis. Right now we are kicking around the thought of bringing in IPAs, Pale Ales, Mexican Lagers, and I might introduce them to sours, who knows? It will be a lot of fun though.
