I love a good coffee stout. Add some chocolate and you will suck me right in. This is how I found myself with New Belgium’s Lips of Faith Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout. Why I neglected this decadent delight for 7 months I have no idea but enjoy I did. This sucker poured a pitch black with a decent tan head that immediately exuded coffee, chocolate and roasted malt aromas. The taste was very rich and deep with dark chocolate and a roasted malt that had a slight hint of bitterness on the tail. The coffee flavors may have faded a bit over the months, but they were still present with a good dark roast kick that really balanced this deep dark and rich brew. The coffee aromas and flavors asserted themselves as it warmed and made for a complete coffee confection. Is this for breakfast or dessert? It’s hard to tell, either way you will be happy.
