Tree HouseBeersEternal Optimist
Blonde Stout that pours a surprisingly glowing golden hue. What begins as a rich and velvety malt bill is then conditioned on freshly scoured vanilla beans, crushed cacao nibs, and a specialty batch of coffee. Notes of sweet vanilla cupcakes, dark chocolate, and cocoa dusted lattes swirl from the glass.
Leads with dark chocolate, vanilla and cake & cookie; also coffee, espresso, roast and cocoa. Feels silky and rich & full.
On the Dark wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
Eternal Optimist is a Blonde Stout conditioned on freshly scored vanilla beans, crushed cacao nibs, and a specialty batch of coffee. Notes of sweet vanilla cupcakes, dark chocolate, and cocoa-dusted lattes swirl from the glass. Its bold profile is enhanced by our coffee team, who carefully extended the roasting time for Monochrome, adding layered roast notes. Blonde stouts are a rarity and a strange exercise in creativity. They burst onto the scene as a technical challenge, with brewers asking whether they could create a stout-like profile without dark or roasted malts. With years of thoughtfully adding adjuncts such as vanilla, coffee, and chocolate to our beers, we thought it was time to submit an entry in this eclectic style. Enjoy it with a curious and open mind.
