Oh My Goth Alcohol Free Coffee Stout Review

When I first tried Oh My Goth Alcohol Free Coffee Stout, I was excited about the concept of a stout made with coffee sourced from women-led producers. However, my enthusiasm quickly faded as I realized that the execution left much to be desired. The stout is light-bodied, which is not what I expect from a stout, and the taste has an odd lingering quality that I found off-putting. It’s clear that there are better alcohol-free stouts available on the market (ahem – Guinness 0.0%) that deliver a richer and more satisfying experience.

This beer is brewed by Girls Who Grain, a brand that emphasizes sourcing ingredients from women growers, which is commendable. Still, even with this noble mission, the stout didn’t manage to impress me. The flavors felt muddled, lacking the depth and richness that one typically looks for in this style. Instead, it seemed to be a mere shadow of what a stout should be.

The brewing process, in collaboration with Drop Bear Beer Co., might have been an opportunity to create something special, but the final product didn’t live up to that potential. While I appreciate the vegan and gluten-free aspects, they cannot compensate for the lack of body and flavor complexity that I crave in a coffee stout.

At the end of the day, Oh My Goth Alcohol Free Coffee Stout felt more like a missed opportunity than a successful beer. I would suggest exploring other alcohol-free stouts that can offer a fuller, more satisfying drinking experience.
