Normally in the middle of August, i'm starting to get excited about the upcoming Oktoberfest/pumpkin ale onslaught of the fall...but as it turns out, that stuff is already on the shelves. It feels too early for it. I mean, i bought some and drank it already, but it still feels too early. Anyway, it's never too early for a good stout, and the good folks at
Red Horn in collaboration with
Turning Point Beer have a whopper with Cultivating Mass, 14% ABV cookies n' cream imperial stout. The brew pours black with a tan head smells of chocolate, vanilla, and a little bit of marshmallow. The flavor follows suit and is amazingly smooth considering the alcohol content. It will sneak up on you. So sip it slow and enjoy.
