01/25/17 2016 vintage 8.5% now, but honestly, much the same as below. The extra alcohol doesn't really bit that hard, and the coffee is still the watchword here. Interestingly it's now a 500 mL, 16.9 oz bottle, AND more expensive! Huh. Original...
Always happy to run into a new Westbrook beer, and an (apparent) combination of an Oatmeal and Milk Stout at 5.5% is more intriguing than most. Not sure if Ed is trying to christen a new style or just combining the best elements of both. Dark...
12 oz bottle as part of a sixer from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Extraordinary hype has surrounded this beer in the last few weeks, and to be honest I even got a little caught up in it myself. I dislike it when that happens, but of course this is...
Delighted and impressed by another one of the offerings from Butternuts. 12 oz single can from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. Pours a decent black color with a smallish head that fades quickly. This is a simple milk stout that delivers a decent amount of...
22 oz bottle, thanks to Micah (DogBrick) for the chance to try this beer. Jet black body with a lovely looking mocha colored head. Small, fine bubbles with nice density. Very compact and tight with a degree of orange color that seems to match the...
22oz bottle, $7.49 from Total Wine, Perimeter, Atlanta, GA, USA. #2 in the Midnight Project, Terrapin/Left Hand collaboration. Deliberately avoided this at Brewgrass as I wanted to try it for the first time, properly. Gold foil on the neck. No...
Pictured 4/26/25, nitro pour, The Packard Taphouse, Fort Wayne, IN, USA There really probably is almost 19 years between me making the notes below and the latest tasting. Not a beer that I ever gravitated towards years ago and the nitro delivery...
Very good appearance, solid black, but a disappointingly small head. Aromas are chocolate and some burnt malt. Roasted and toasted come to mind. Aromas a reflected in the tastes. Some bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is very nice, with good...
Out of the bottle but still a nitro poured appearance. Small, perfectly formed light tan colored head sits atop the jet black body. It promises much. Definite sugar, confectionery type aroma, but not as chocolate laden as the name or the anecdotal...
Dark pour with light brown highlights. Small, tan head that recedes quickly to leave a ring of spotty creaminess around the circumference of the surface. Definitely a sweet drink, but the sugar is not overpowering and serves to smooth out the...
Part of a mixed six pack (2 Hefe, 2 Cream Stout, 2 Boston Ale) from Sam Adams @ 7.49, Publix, Villa Rica, GA, USA. Nice dark, mahogany brown/black pour with a considerable rocky, light brown head that hung around. Some decent lacing too. There are...
Jet black pour with the characteristic tan head. It's more like sweet black coffee than sweet black coffee! Not necessarily one I would always reach for, but a damn fine example of the style. I always feel that drinking and really enjoying stout is...
Pictured 03/29/23 Original notes 05/23/04 It's all chocolate, it's all burned coffee, it's all rich, deep aromas and tastes, and it's all spectacular! St. Peter's does it again with this stunning stout. An experience more than a drink, with the...
