Garrison Khybeer Moka Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

wow! 3 for 3 for this brewer with producing decent, drinkable flavored ales....and this one is probably the best of the lot. I'm used to seeing coffee used in sturdier ales like porters and stouts but the thinner body and nutty tastes of a nut brown ale seem to work well with the coffee blend used here. Flavors from my 2 favorite beverages in one glass ( beer and coffee) in a flavor blend that ends up producing a wonderfully refreshing drink. Poured a darker crystal clear cola color with ruby highlights. Small tan cap with moderate retention but good lacing on the glass. Medium-light bodied, rounded character with a slight mocha bite, creamy mouthfeel. Aroma is a wonderful potpourie of coffee, chickory, cocoa, vanilla and walnuts. Sweetish nutty malts in the front then a rush of good brewed coffee...finishes slightly tart cocoa flush with a light bittering from fuggles hops. A very nice brew to be savored after a good feed of salmon or scallops.
