Terrapin Moo-HooChiato Joining Coveted Series

Terrapin Beer Company’s (Athens, GA) fourth offering in their Reserve Series will be Moo-HooChiato, a chocolate espresso milk stout.

For this release, brewery co-founder Spike took a new approach on the brewery’s chocolate milk stout, Moo-Hoo. Moo-Hoo features cocoa nibs from Olive and Sinclair in Nashville, Tennessee. The nibs, along with the addition of Jittery Joe’s Coffee (the same found in W-n-B) will surely make Terrapin fans drool.

Like your favorite cup of Cafe Mocha, Moo-HooChiato “Chocolate Espresso Milk Stout” put you in the right state of mind. take in the aroma of expertly roasted espresso from Jittery Joe’s and let your taste buds melt into the flavor of Olive & Sinclair’s award winning chocolate. Brewed with lactose sugar for a creamy mouth feel and a touch of sweetness, this is a Barista’s wish come true. 

In the Beer Street Journal video below, you’ll see Spike talk about recent release Imperial Pumpkin Porter, plus hint at the next couple of Special Reserve Series releases.

Style: Milk Stout (w/ Coffee, Chocolate)
Availability: 22oz Bombers, Draft. Limited Release.

Ballast Point Victory at Sea Returns Friday. Brewery Teases Year Round

Ballast Point Brewing Victory at Sea returns this Friday. The imperial porter is brewed with vanilla beans, and coffee. It never sticks around very long.

Our Victory at Sea Imperial Porter is a bold, smooth brew with just the right amount of sweetness. We infused this robust porter with whole vanilla beans and San Diego’s own Caffe Calabria coffee beans. The subtle roasted notes and minimal acidity of the cold brewed coffee, balances perfectly with the sweet caramel undertones of the malt, creating a winning combination for your palate.

Ballast Point Victory at Sea is available in 22oz bottles and draft. The brewery teased fans this week by saying it might become a year round offering. We can always hope.

Style: Imperial Porter (w/ Coffee, Vanilla Beans)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. Limited Release

Drool Worthy: Cigar City Caffe Americano Double Stout

Cigar City Caffe Americano Double Stout appeared earlier this year on draft at the brewery. The imperial stout is decadent, brewed with coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. Oh, and aged in rum barrels. Let the fight for it begin…

Traditional Caffe American is made by adding water to espresso. We break all the rules with this Double Stout. We refuse to add water to our beer after fermentation, but have noissues adding beer to our espresso. This deep, dark stout exhibits rich espresso and coffee notes, which are contributed by the generous use of roasted barley and locally roasted espresso. That simply is not enough for us. We also add roasted, raw chocolate and a hint of vanilla to this big bodied stout. Then, just for fun, we age it in rum barrels. Dodge the red eye and take a shot of the dark.

Cigar City Caffe Americano Double Stout will be released in 750ml bottles.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla. Barrel Aged. Rum.)
Availability: 750ml Bottles, Draft. Limited
Arrival: TBA

Coney Island Freaktoberfest, Completely Changed

Shmaltz Brewing Co. sold off the Coney Island line to Alchemy, a subsidiary of Samuel Adams last year. Distribution has been pulled back to basically New York, and the beer recipes, overhauled.

Coney Island Freaktoberfest used to be a “blood” red lager with a 6.66% ABV. This fall, it’s going pumpkin. Freaktoberfest 2014 will be a pumpkin ale brewed with spices and espresso beans from Cafe Grumpy in Brooklyn.

Freaktoberfest is a hauntingly complex, deep amber, pumpkin and espresso ale. Caramel aromas intermingle with hints of allspice and cinnamon. A roasted, rich body is highlighted by Brooklyn’s own Cafe Grumpy’s specially selected espresso beans, and is finished with sweet pumpkin. 

Coney Island Freaktoberfest will be available in 12oz bottles, and presumably draft. Coney Island just released a new seasonal, Tunnel of Love Watermelon Wheat.

Style: Pumpkin Ale (w/ Espresso)
Availability: 12oz Bottles
Arrival: Fall, 2014
