New Belgium - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ale
Beer Type: American Brown Ale - 6.00% ABV
Appearance: 12oz brown bottle a Ben & Jerry looking bit of art (makes sense as this is a collaboration brew). Art does NOT make me want to try this beer. Beer poured a golden yellow color with a white thin head that left lacing.
Smell: Nothing cookie about the smell. Maybe a bit of "dough" in yeast and malt. Sort of smells like a protein bar.
First Drink: Very sweet and slightly tangy at first quickly followed by a sort of sickly raw cookie dough flavor. Mostly I get vanilla. Not much chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Thin and a little watery but it has some carbonation.
Last Drink: More vanilla and I guess what tastes like stale chocolate chip cookies.
Drinkability: Not going out of my way for this one. Bought it because it was a one time brew and the price was right (cheap).
Notes: This is probably a good beer for those people who don't really like drinking beer. Not for me.
Verdict: 2.5 out of 5. Drink a crummy macro brew and eat a fistful of preservative riddled chocolate chip cookies and you will likely get the same flavor.
