171. Black Circle (Indianapolis, IN) - Ghidorah

“Derreck, Dustin & Paul’s birthday beer. Obscene amounts of Oats & Lactose create a rich & creamy base, while Coffee & Chocolate added post fermentation replicate the flavors of roasted malts. Vanilla, Almond, and Strawberry were added to this version to give the beer the flavor of a classic Birthday Cake.”

Nice light strawberry notes, and a little bit of a bite from the alcohol. I’ve never had a white stout before, but I think I like the idea—moderate to high alcohol with lots of non-hops flavors that come from sources other than the usual chocolate malt, coffee, and roasted grain.
