Episode 28: Fox Brew Pub Gives Us “Vollmundigkeit” At Nevada’s State Capitol

Vollmundigkeit: so alluring, so verboten, so… German. Fox Brew Pub Head Brewer and stump whiskey maker Tim Mason tells us what it means on this edition of the Stoutcast as he and Bob Moffitt try out six stouts. Click HERE for the podcast!

Rhinelander Boatswain Chocolate  5.4%

Tim: Too dry for a chocolate. It should be a porter. FAIR

Bob: Delivers on the tangy. Not getting any chocolate.  FAIR

Two Pitchers Black Bayou Milk

Tim: Strangely light. Surprisingly creamy. Nailed the milk part  VERY GOOD

Bob:  Creamy.  Coffee comes in late. Enjoyable. VERY GOOD

Fox Brew Pub  El Gaucho   7.5%

Tim: English-style leanings, a sweet stout. Pound of cocoa nibs per barrel, but not overbearing. I like it.

Bob: Refreshing. Not picking up on the cocoa. GOOD/VERY GOOD.

Fox Brew Pub El Guacho w Hazelnuts 7.5%

Tim: Sweet stout, wanted hazelnuts, but not crazy hazelnuts. I like it.

Bob: A little aftertaste. Sweet at the start. GOOD/VERY GOOD

Mason Aleworks Cash Coffee    9.4%

Tim: Pretty smooth for a 9.4. A little aftertaste. FAIR/GOOD Wouldn’t have a second one.

Bob: Awfully bitter. FAIR/GOOD

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial 10.5%

Tim: Good palate cleanser. Strong body masks the bourbon well. VERY GOOD

Bob: Surprisingly light with the barrel influence, little aftertaste. VERY GOOD
