Great Lakes Blackout Stout
Has a delicious coffee aroma that breaks down after awhile into a sherry-like smell, and finally, strong alcohol. A dark brown head of short duration caps a solidly black, laceless body. The taste has a touch of sweetness in an otherwise roasted environment with a predominance of EtOH. The bottle is not conditioned, but I appreciate both the stamped freshness date and the suggested serving temperature on the label. In the end, the taste of alcohol was overbearing, and the body was sullen.
