Beer of the Week

The beer: Coconut Merlin Milk Stout

Brewed by: Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Paso Robles, California

Description (from the website): "With an infusion of freshly toasted coconuts and a touch of seasonal sorcery, Brewmaster Matt 'Merlin' Brynildson conjures up Coconut Merlin - a uniquely flavored brew for fall and winter. The fresh coconut addition perfectly accentuates the beer’s roasty, nutty character. The lactose gives a rounded mouthfeel & suggestion of sweetness resulting in the perfect combination of flavors in this first-time release from Firestone Walker."

Would I buy it again?: Coconut-flavored beers are pretty hit or miss with me, and unfortunately, this one was on the miss side. Which is too bad, because I'm usually a fan of milk stout. But this one had a weird bitter aftertaste that I did not care for. Not something I plan on getting again.
