I have been enjoying my batch of Deception Cream Stout. About a week ago, I happened to grab a bottle of Coffee Stout made by the New Glarus Brewery. On the label, the brewmaster, Dan Carey, encouraged drinkers to try it at cool room temperature. I did that and it sure was tasty. Then, I had one of my Deception Cream Stout's at cool room temperature...WOW! What a fantastic difference! And last night, I enjoyed a glass of my Oatmeal Stout at cool room temperature! What I learned is that different styles of beer need to be served at the proper temperature for the full effect.
