Beer of the Week

The beer: Nocturnal Visions

Brewed by: Revision Brewing Company, Sparks, Nevada

Description (from the can): "This traditional German-style black lager presents notes of chocolate and a hint of roastiness, but don’t let the color fool you, this deceptively light-bodied beer is here to quench your thirst anytime."

Would I buy it again? I definitely get the roastiness and the finish is pretty dry, not so much the chocolate. It was lighter than you'd expect for a beer that's literally black, so it does have that going for it. It's not bad, but I'm not completely sold on it, so no, I probably wouldn't go for this again.

Beer of the Week

The beer: Coconut Pie Face

Brewed by: Revision Brewing Company, Sparks, Nevada

Description (from the website): "Mountains of freshly toasted coconut, loads of cacao nibs and thousands of Madagascar vanilla beans on top of a rich imperial stout base round out this confectionary treat in a glass."

Would I buy it again? I'm not 100% sold on the mountains of coconut, but there's certainly plenty of chocolate and quite a bit of vanilla flavor to this beer. It's thick (duh) but smooth and not difficult to drink at all. Definitely a very good imperial stout, so yeah, I'd buy it again.
