Pipeworks Coffee Break Abduction

By now, I can taste that aged Pipeworks stouts all have a similar taste. This one had a touch of coffee but it absolutely had that surprisingly distinctive Pipeworks taste. I need to try one of these fresh one day for comparison. I can’t tell if that is the base taste or if this is the aging or oxidization.

One odd thing was that this was a lighter brown than I would have suspected. The mouthfeel is great still. And the alcohol is imperceptible. It is quite sweet and quite good. Quite good but not necessarily outstanding. I can’t wait for Pipeworks stout cans.
