Irish Tenth Coffee Lager

Category: Flavored Lager

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 4.5%
Deep amber color. Aromas and flavors of lightly roasted coffee beans and chocolate espresso beans with a round, vibrant, effervescent, dryish medium-to-full body and a sleek, charming, long finish that exhibits nuances of grilled baguette, peppercorn muffin, radicchio, and cappuccino. A great combination of precisely roasted coffee beans and a crisp malty lager; well done.

This category is, practically speaking, a catchall for beers that don’t fit neatly in an existing category. Flavored lagers may be flavored with, or affected by, the addition of unusual ingredients including chocolate, coffee, chili peppers or even juniper. In addition, the base beer may be related to almost any classic beer style. Given the variation possible in this category, there are no established standards for appearance, aroma or flavor. Instead, beers in this category are defined by a pleasing combination of the beer’s elements and overall drinkability. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock, Stiegl Grapefruit Radler and Burleigh Black Giraffe Coffee Lager.
