Cheeky Bastard by Nickel Brook Brewing Company

Hey everyone John here from The Intoxicated Review and I got a tasty stout for you guys today! Cheeky Bastard Stout by Nickel Brook Brewing Company. Here we go!

The Brewery:

http://www.nickelbrook.com

ABV:

4.5%

The Pour:

Cheeky Bastard pours a beautiful black colour. It wasn’t too thick of a pour either. There as a nice hazelnut coloured head which flatlined within a few minutes.

The Aroma:

You instantly pick up roasted coffee and a nice kick of chocolate. There is a subtle hint of vanilla.

The Flavour:

Instant pop of dark roasted coffee in this one. Followed by dark chocolate which they really do compliment eachother. However, I wasn’t able to pick up much of the vanilla.

The Body:

This is a light stout. You won’t be feeling “full” after one or two of these. It’s a pretty smooth, very lightly carbonated and not too bitter at all. A fairly easy drinking stout.

Overall:

This is a pretty good light stout and pretty enjoyable. Especially in a world of heavy, boozy stouts it’s nice to enjoy something thats not gonna kick your ass. Thanks for reading.

Cheers!
