Weyerbacher 'November' in December Tapping Party @ Derailleur Tap Room (Bricktop)



We have a great beer for the cooling temps out, this Friday we will be tapping a great winter ale from Weyerbacher, and perfectly named for the first tapping party of December.

'November' is a delicious 7.7% Brown Ale brewed with coffee and oats. From the brewery website "Our most recent release in the Brewer’s Select Series is November. Dan Hitchcock, Lead Brewer, and I thought that we might play around with coffee with this one. Dan had the great idea to utilize a Brown Ale rather than a Porter or Stout. Both of which are more commonly used for coffee infused beers. I think I’ll call it an Imperial Breakfast Brown Ale; that is, a Brown Ale made with oats and coffee...We think that the beer came together wonderfully and the flavor is precisely what we anticipated. The beer pours with a thick, creamy white head that sticks around. The crisp carbonation opens up the aroma filled with fresh roasted coffee, bread, and a subtle fruit note. The first taste brings on an exceedingly smooth coffee flavor that meshes perfectly with the maltiness of the base beer. The oats and wheat have given this beer a very gratifying texture that makes me want to have another. This beer is ridiculously good! I hope you think so too."
