beer_name: Big Bear Black Stout
text: A - Dark, opaque, with a finger of tan head. Smell is okay, but a little bland. All malts/bread. Maybe a faint bit of sweetness at the end. Taste follows the nose - a bit more complex. Malt heavy, initially a lot of breads then fades into some chocolate sweetness. Also a fair bit of char. Mouthfeel is good. A bit light for an imperial stout. Nicely carbonated and nearly creamy. A subtle take on an imperial stout. Not my favorite, but would make a nice introduction for folks that aren't familiar with the style. Also, an excellent value, if you're concerned with that.
