Beer of the Week

The beer: Cookies 'N Cream Stout

The brewery: Stevens Point Brewery, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Description (from the website): "Dunk the little cookies and watch bubbles come up. This sessionable dessert stout recalls everyone’s favorite sandwich cookie with a smooth, biscuity base of dark chocolate malt, softened with flavors of cream filling, speckled ice cream, and white chocolate."

Would I buy it again? I had never heard of Stevens Point Brewery before this, but apparently it's the fifth-oldest brewery in the country, dating back to 1857. It's also a top 20 craft brewery in terms of beer production. Presumably, their beers have just not been available in Maryland before now. Or I could just be blind. Anyway, this is definitely not the first Oreo-inspired beer I've had, and while it's not as good as the one Flying Dog made, it does have the advantage of being available. It could feature a bit more cookies and cream flavor, but it's solid enough, and with Flying Dog's version being discontinued, this is a decent substitute. I could definitely see myself buying this again.
