Nutmeg State of Mind - Hoax Brewing Company

Beer Review

Nutmeg State of Mind is a 10% Imperial/Double Stout brewed by Hoax Brewing Company in East Haven, Connecticut. Hoax Brewing Company is a relatively new beer maker that launched in 2018 by Sean Ricci. I attended the launch party and took photos for my friend's band 'Skyview Plaza'. Hoax brews out of The Beeracks, a collaborative brewing space that houses 7+ different beer makers. Nutmeg State of Mind is a rich stout that pays tribute to Connecticut's rich history.

The Can

Nutmeg State of Mind is served in a full pint can. On the front of the label a sailor is featured with nutmegs on his face. Connecticut is known as the nutmeg state and this beer pays homage to that in the name, the can and the beer.

The Beer

Nutmeg State of Mind is a rich imperial stout that goes down relatively easy for a 10% beer. It's brewed using Maple Syrup from Winter Winds Farm in Litchfield, CT, locally roasted Coffee from Common Grounds in Branford, CT, and of course some Nutmeg. As you can see in the picture, the beer poured without much of a head. It was a smooth drinking beer with a rich coffee taste accompanied by a hint of sweet maple syrup. Overall a good beer for the cold seasons. I look forward to trying more beers from Hoax Brewing Company in the future!
