Arcadia Lays Down A Monster
Coming in at an impressive 1 pint, 6 ounces is an untested bottle sized to start the biggest bar fight in the history of man. A glass hammer to rival a middleweight Champagne bottle, here it is, the Big Beer Series feature of the week, brought to you by The Brew Crew at Arcadia Ales...
Week 23:
Cocoa Loco
At first cap, wafting from the bottle is a light odor of sour chocolate milk and molasses in this, the darkest of stouts. When poured, this king beer is crowed with a toasted cappuccino colored head that, sadly, dissipates quickly. At a ridiculously high 7% abc, and throned in a ridiculously large bottle, Cocoa Loco commands a ridiculous commitment of the wallet, retailing for around $7. It is, however, an impressive way to start an evening.
Known by its makers as "The Triple Chocolate Milk Stout", this beer is so thick as to be almost chewy, with a bitterness that crowds your mouth, coating your tongue with a blanket of bitter molasses and leaving the roof of the mouth with a flavor of burnt, unsweetened fudge. Once swallowed, though, you realize how light (too light, maybe?) and drinkable this beer really is. Tasting this giant is a novel experience, to say the least. With a roasted, toasted, burnt, bitter flavor, this beer will man up a variety of desserts. Like coffee is to pie, this big boy brew will make a perfect complement to a rich, creamy cheesecake—and it is highly recommended that you do exactly that. Girly man. Cheers!
