Things aren’t always what they seem, but not all deception is devious. Some illusions and misnomers lead to life’s most delightful surprises. Case in point-this beer, the yang to the yin that is the black India pale ale. Once revolutionary for its onyx appearance, it is now an accepted and beloved member of the India pale ale family tree. Thus we took the spirit of a dark brew-the time-honored stout-and applied a similar science of thought, brewing it to the golden-hued. That is what this experimental series and its latest creation are all about. Cocoa and coffee beans impart roastiness sans darkening to this brew, while flaked oats provide an enveloping mouthfeel. The result is a stout that looks more like a blonde, but is a raven beauty at heart. [Originally this was tap only at Liberty Station. Now bottled by Stone Escondido and distributed.]

Small off white head, lasting with decent lace. Chill hazed blond color. Spicy with light, roasty coffee notes. Body is medium with a somewhat tingly carbonation, not Imperial Stout like at all and not really enjoyable either. Thin watery coffee flavors, some caramel and light roast. Dry finish ,warming, bit boozy, aspiriny, silly. Bomber from statelineliquors.

Bottle at Anchorage Dec ’14 Tasting: Poured an orange color with an off white head. Aroma is weird mix of coffee and hops. Taste is hops forward with an off coffee roastedness. I’m sure this will be my first and last golden stout.

Rated Dec. 2014. 22oz bomber pours with a clear deep gold to copper body that supports a thin near white head. The aroma offers an interesting mix of sweet malts, coffee, a bit of a light skinned sweet fruity ester note, a dash of chili peppers and then malt sweetened chocolate. Yes, interesting. The taste starts sweet with sugary malts, a firm dark roasted coffee note and then a pleasing thin mix of chili peppers and dark chocolate. As it warms the chili pepper sensation seems to grow. Interesting.
