Big Bear Black Stout
4.28 out of 5.00 | Very Good

22 oz bomber, part of a recent trade (sorry, for now I forget who).

Good black color with some dark brown highlights at the extreme edges. Nice looking pour with a very good creamy head that lasts well, with some latte coffee type lacing.

There’s a real creamy sweetness about this beer, and a distinct lack of bitterness. VERY mild, sweet and “lactose like” considering the style. In fact the more I drink it, the more lactose notes that creep in.

Slightly lighter body than one would expect for a RIS, but this does not detract from the enjoyment of the beer. Clean aftertaste, very tasty.

Milk chocolate finish and much more refreshing than this style otherwise should be. Not your typical RIS, a bit more like a souped up (double? or Imperial?) Milk Stout. Nice.
