The Firestone Walker Mocha Merlin Stout comes as a rich, full-bodied libation that is ideal for the autumn season to satisfy demand for heavier beers. The stout is brewed with cocoa nibs and coffee to provide a velvety finish that is subtly complex without being overbearing when it comes to flavor. This makes it suitable for those who are looking for something a bit out of the ordinary without fully transitioning from beer to cocktails, coolers or ciders.
The Firestone Walker Mocha Merlin Stout is infused with Colombia La Granadilla coffee for a decadent touch, while the oatmeal stout base is rich and full-bodied enough to handle the heavier flavor notes. The beer is set to be available in cans and on draft throughout fall and winter.
