Today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite local breweries. Carolina Beer is a quickly growing company who has, in just a decade, grown well beyond the term microbrewery. Their production capabilities promise to increase this year to rival that of some national brands.
I have enjoyed many of their beers, including a special beer train where we sampled several of their brews while riding the rails with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad.
Their Almond Stout is a flavorful, slightly bitter stout with a roasted almond aroma. Unlike many other flavored stouts, which don't share their flavor until their finish, you will notice the almond in every part of the beer. The oils from a nut like the almond are extremely aromatic, and since most of flavor is aroma, this beer will be a dark almond adventure from head to finish.
If you like stout beer with a bitter edge, this is an excellent choice. I would especially recommend it with dessert because of the rich almond flavor. This one is one of their 6 seasonal brews, available for about 2 months each. Be sure to try it while you can, before it's gone for another 10 months!
I put 5 of this beer in my 6 pack!
