#299: Terrapin Beer Co » Wake 'N' Bake (Coffee Oatmeal Stout)


Terrapin Beer Co » Wake 'N' Bake (Coffee Oatmeal Stout) | ABV: 9.4%
This 10th edition of W-n-B pours up a viscous jet black with minimal head, breathing out a firm cold brew coffee nose. This big, bold brew coats the palate with deep roasted coffee flavors with a touch of syrup notes, faint red fruits and smoke. Packed with amazing character that's thick and warming enough it could be medicinal, Wake 'N' Bake is a noteworthy brew and one of the best coffee stouts around.

#298: Terrapin Beer Co » Liquid Bliss (Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter)


Terrapin Beer Co » Liquid Bliss (Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter) | ABV: 6.0% 
My partner & I pulled a few bottles of Terrapin from our Philly trip, including this Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter known as Liquid Bliss, originally released in 2012 as Side Project Volume 18 and now a year-round release.

An intriguing PB&J nose starts things off, full of bready, sweet, and nutty notes emitting from the jet black body topped with lacy, mocha head. Onto the palate, Liquid Bliss is just that, deftly smooth with dominating peanut butter notes, backed by rich roasted malts. Firm chocolate flavors arise further in with faint jammy notes and a moderately dry finish. An easy winner and a future go-to the next time we're in Terrapin territory.
