Left Hand Bittersweet

Left Hand Bittersweet is an Imperial Coffee Milk Stout with an aggressive boost from Allegro coffee’s exotic mocha java blend. Best by date of 04/17/16, opened on 01/01/16.

This pours with a exceptionally dark brown color and a nice slightly tan head that fades to almost nothing. I’m smelling rich chocolate, mildly roasted malts, and a nice mocha coffee on the nose. The taste falls right in line with the aroma, sweet chocolate and coffee dominate the palate with a wonderful mocha flavor. A bit of lacto “sourness” comes in about halfway through the taste along with a hint of roast and hop bitterness that leads to the sweet mocha finish.

I don’t remember ever seeing this in Savannah, turns out this was an excellent find during our end of the year visit to Florida!
