A Note on This Beer

Delectable Flavors: The brewers packed this Stout with all the real flavors of a hazelnut coffee cake! Sweet coconut, rich hazelnut, smooth coffee, creamy vanilla beans, and chocolatey cocoa nibs. Limited Edition Stout: This 12% ABV brew is part of a rotating series of Pastry beers. It’s not gonna be around for long!

There’s a new brewery in town, and we’re giving you the hookup!

At just six months old, Humble Forager Brewery is already making a splash with reviewers at PorchDrinking.com and HopCulture.

And no wonder! It’s the brainchild of an award-winning brewery — Forager Brewing nabbed a Kind-of-a-Big-Deal Reader’s Choice Award from Growler Mag!

For today’s beer, Humble Forager showcases one of its core values: Drink Adventurously. The brewers push flavor boundaries to deliver pure decadence.

If you love flavor exploration too, today’s Forest Fortress Stout is a prime example of what the brewery brings to the dessert table. Every sip whisks your taste buds on an expedition of hazelnut coffee cake deliciousness!

*Humble Forager is committed to using sustainably sourced ingredients, whether locally or globally!

Too many ingredients and flavors muddied it a bit.

Really well done - very flavorful and sweet with just enough roast to remind you it's a stout.

Nice hazelnut and vanilla but it’s a bit to sweet for me, if it dried out on your hands it would stick like honey but it is a pastry stout.

i recommend pouring this out into a chilled glass to improve the taste. it wasn’t my favorite, somehow overly sweet and overly bitter at the same time. a really strong stout if you’re into that!

Definitely a refreshing beer. If your a fan of slightly sweet and a bitter taste of coffee then this is your drink. The coffee taste is very strong but the cocoa gives it a balance that i like.

It was good, had a big alcohol bite if you're in to that, it was a very above average dark beer....and this brew is really really dark...so much so I had to cut it with a tan to fully enjoy it.

Chocolate and hazelnut balance to create a delightful chocolate cake experience, but not quite enough to balance the high abv.

Great balance of flavors for a dessert stout. It is a strong abv, but it's a smooth drink. Drinking it nearly ice cold & in a chilled glass helps tone that down if that's something you're not use to. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this if I come across it again!

The first 5-star I've given on Tavour. A superb candied-nutty aroma. Incredibly weighty and smooth feel. And the aftertaste is like liquid dessert.

Not going to lie, this one stings the nostrils. That's the 12% ABV crinkling my nose - DANGER, DANGER, WILL ROBINSON. Despite that, I like this beer. Very vanilla, very cocoa, very sweet, but well done. Indeed, like a pastry. A good dessert beer...that'll put you to sleep.

Pastry for sure. No hazelnut. Getting a graham cracker vibe from the adjunct combo. Layered, cocoa & vanilla. Big, rich coconut finish.

Sweet and syrupy in the right way. Coconut dominates the most here, paired with a nice roasted malty finish.

Yummy pastry stout, that was just a hair too sweet for my taste. It was a lot of sweet to drink, but enjoyable.

Love the layers in this, plus such a wonderfully decadent mouthfeel. This would make my autumn rotation of stouts

Loved this one! Hazelnut and vanilla throughout a bit sweet and comes close to cloying but if you can move past that your in heaven
