Hold On To Sunshine is a rich and delicious stout intended to be savored and enjoyed as we enter the cooler Autumn months here in New England. Brewed with Pale and Chocolate Malts, Lactose, Coffee, Cacao, and Peanut Butter, it exhibits notes of rich milk chocolate, dark brown sugar, creamy espresso, and chocolate covered peanut butter cups. A luxurious mouthfeel and creamy body contribute to a beer that feels much bigger than it is - a decadent treat and one that won’t overwhelm you with heaviness, yet is loaded with delicious bold flavors that express themselves as it warms. Life can come at us fast and hit us with unexpected hardship, inducing stress, fear, anger, confusion, sadness, and uncertainty. But together we must find solace and comfort in each other, and in something wonderful, equal, and free for everyone to hold on to - Sunshine. For Lauren.

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup! Inky black with a huge frothy creamy light tan head that slowly recedes. Rich milk chocolate and creamed coffee with bits of licorice and dark fruits. Pretty nice!

Can on the train home from Kingswear, thanks to Dave, 28/08/21. Black with a tan covering that soon collapses to spotting. Nose is chocolate, peanut butter, light roast, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises chocolate, peanut butter, toffee fudge, light roast, charr, brown sugar melt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid stout if just a touch overly sweet.

Can at home. Opaque black color, small dark brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly sweetish, milk chocolate. Don't get much more. Alright but not great.
