While at Ashley’s Westland, I had a chance to sample another beer from Paw Paw Brewery.  It was Black River Oatmeal Stout.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this westside Michigan craft brewery.  If you have not read those blog posts, please, read those posts to get to know Paw Paw Brewery.  Let us get into this Oatmeal Stout.

It has a jet black color with a nice creamy small bubbles and a tan color head on this Oatmeal Stout.  The aroma has roasted malty to some chocolate and coffee notes.  The drinking experience entitles a smooth to creamy chocolate notes.  The aftertaste has a dry coffee notes.  It has a medium to heavy body.  It is a sipping beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.pawpawbrewing.com):

Black River

Black River Oatmeal Stout is a very smooth slightly chocolaty stout. Pleasing mild roast, rich bitterweet chocolate and chocolate ice cream flavor. Terrific mouth feel, clean & drying in the finish. For the stout drinker this is a must try.

Closing, Paw Paw Brewery does not make a bad beer.  Every beer that I have had from this brewery are awesome.  This oatmeal stout is awesome.  I love the chocolate notes and heaviest from the body.  It might be a sipping beer but you can relax when drinking this beer.  The mouthfeel is a cream chocolate notes.  I really enjoyed this beer and I will be hunting this beer down in bottles in my area.  I hope to see it on draft in the future again.  I recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Paw Paw Brewing K.U.A. Extra Pale Ale

image

In this beer blog, we are going to get into the first brew from Paw Paw Brewing on this blog.  I had a chance to try their beer at the Michigan Brewer’s Guild Summerfest.  I stopped by their booth and talked to them along with sampling their beers.  I was back in Michigan this last weekend to see Tesla and Uncle Ted.  I did stop by their brewpub but they were closed.  I might make a trip back in to check out this brewery.  Paw Paw Brewing is located in Paw Paw, Michigan by Ben Fleckestein and Ryan Sylvester in 2010.  They had their grand opening in 2011.  They brew several different beer styles and package them in bottles.  I am looking forward to stopping in and trying everything straight from source.  Let us get into the beer.

It has a hazel copper color with a constant white head. There is no smell to this extra pale ale.  The taste is smooth caramel with a citrus hop finish.  It is drinkable.

Here is a description from the beer bottle:

This American pale ale carries tropical citrus notes and announces itself first with a golden color and wonderful aroma.  Inspired by cyclists nationwide that ride the urban streets, this brew is sure to refresh.

In the end, this is an awesome beer.  I have to say the newer craft breweries raising up in Michigan put the newer ones in Chicago to shame.  Michigan is growing into a pretty important state for craft beer.  They are a long ways off from Oregon and Washington.  They are gaining ground pretty quickly.  I love the hops that they use on this beer and yet there is a nice balance from the malt.  This a well-built beer and you can tell that this brewery put some thought behind this beer.  I will be looking forward to try rest of their beers.  I recommend you driving to Michigan to get this beer in your hands.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
