Description
Located in a former roadside speakeasy on US Route 50 heading west into the city of Cincinnati, Fifty West Brewing Company first opened its doors in November of 2012. Since then, one thing has remained the same. Every time you have a Fifty West beer, you know it was handmade in small batches with a focus on the four virtues we hold closest to our hearts: craftsmanship, tradition, innovation, and patience.

Sample at the brewpub. Black pour with a medium thick tan head that recedes gradually. Patches of lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied with a roasty character of coffee and malt, along with chocolate and hops in the background. The finish is malty up front with a mildly bitter coffee aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
