Northwest Beer Guide on Instagram: "Earlier this month, we sat down at @urbanfamilybrewing to check out three variants of their Lighthouse in the Woods series. With a barrel-aged stout base, the brewery collaborated with ingredients like Hazelnut, Orange Zest, or coffee from roaster @ondaorigins. Here are our thoughts. Regarding Lighthouse in the Woods with Hazelnut. Out of the can, 'Hazelnut creates a strong cap of khaki-tan head, resting on an ocean of darkness. Receding, there remains a wreath on the surface of the glass. Swirling and sniffing, one recalls notes of crushed hazelnuts and vanilla, along with dark roasted coffee. Sipping, there's an upfront of dark coffee, followed by baker's chocolate, vanilla, and finishing with hazelnuts. Overall, 'Hazelnut has a strong mouthfeel, a definite alcoholic warmth, and a cloying stickiness. Following 'Hazelnut, we gave the brewery's collaboration with ONDA a go. Out of the can, 'ONDA has those same visual attributes as 'Hazelnut. Swirling and sniffing, one recalls notes of German Chocolate, roasted coffee, and molasses. Sipping, there's an upfront hit of baker's chocolate, medium roasted coffee, bits of oak, and a dark fruit finish. Overall, 'ONDA has a strong mouthfeel, a definite alcoholic warmth, and a lingering stickiness. Finally, we finish with Lighthouse in the Woods, which includes the addition of orange zest. Out of the can, 'Orange Zest has the same visual features of the other series, including lacing. Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of candied orange peels, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee. Sipping, we get an upfront hit of milk chocolate, candied orange peels which fade quickly, allowing notes of oak and roasted coffee to finish out the experience. Overall, Orange Zest has a strong mouthfeel, a definite alcoholic warmth, and a sticky bitterness. . . . #photography #photoftheday #beautiful #instamood #instadrink #instabeer #beer #beerme #beerlover #beerporn #beerstagram #craftbeer #beertography #craftbeerlife #drinklocal #winter"
