Kuhnhenn Crème Brûlée Java Stout

Brewed by Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Stout
Warren, Michigan USA

Growler from Kuhnhenn. Pours Black with a thick brown/tan head. Aroma is of coffee and caramel with vanilla hints, it smells amazing. The taste is the same, overpowering coffee flavor, but this still tastes delicious.

Dark brown almost opaque black with medium, creamy beige, tan head. Aroma is sweet coffee syrup and vanilla, and roast. Flavor is similar to the aroma but the coffee helps drybit out a little bit but its still super sweet. Medium to full and creamy. Actually really similar to southern tiers version.

Incredibly drinkable. The vanilla and coffee undertones are not at all overpowering (im looking at you southern tier!) All your traditional stout flavors in abundance. Amazing amount of flavor at only 6%.

Tap at Kuhnhenn’s, has a dark brown-black pour with a tan and dark tan bubbled head that stuck around for the drink, left creamy lacing on the sides of the glass, aromas of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee with sweet fragrances of dark malt ‘chocolate’ and caramel, flavors of roasted and dark roasted malt with strong and dark (and/or burnt?) caramel and malt sweetness, some burnt caramel flavors to with some bitterness at the finish, has a nice full mouth feel without being heavy on the palate, a beer that has an interesting mix of sweet malt and dark roasted malt aromas and flavors, easy to drink, very tasty good stuff.

My favorite stout period. Sit back and enjoy the veriety of flavors. The most unpredictable stouts. One monement you are having dessert the next your at a coffee shop. Pour unbelievable. Head is malty. Smoothest stout. It’s a real treat. The body is just amazing. Very rich, creamy and smooth

This stout really does taste like Creme Brulee. Brown sugar, creamy vanilla and very sweet. Great mouth feel, silky smooth. A great stout.

Thanks go out to goryshkewych for the growler. I shared this with a few friends so it was in a standard pint glass a rough pour produced a two finger tan head that went to a light lace. There was a black body on the brew with brown highlights. Aromas were coffee and sweetness, someone said it reminded them of a French vanilla coffee and I’d have to agree. Even so much in the flavor profile as well this I would have to classify as my first desert beer. This brew is a sipper with a medium feel to the mouth with light carbonation. The roastiness of the malts helped the sweetness a lot by keeping it in check. The only negative in the taste was an imitation vanilla flavor that kept popping up in my mind. A great desert beer if I lived in the area I would defiantly use this brew to close out a great dinner with friends. This brew is very unique; I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind a little sweetness in their brews.

On tap at Kuhnhenn. Pours a very dark brown to black with medium off-white head. Aroma very heavy on cofee and vanilla, with hints of chocolate, brown sugar, and toffee. Taste is sweet, but no surprise from the aroma. This beer goes down all too easy with a creamy mouthfeel and a lasting taste of vanilla and cream.
