Black Magic Stout
Pint for dessert tonight at Oggi's in Corona, decided to go for one of these instead of ice cream with my girlfriend afterwards, nice switch after drinking two bitter IPAs earlier Color was a dark brown but could certianly see through it when held up to the light, had a small vanilla colored head that left some lacing at the top but that was it, mellowed pretty quickly Smell was full of roasted malt, some chocolate, and syrupy accents, there some kind of nuttiness I smelled but did not encounter from its taste, maybe just my imagination then Taste was rather smooth, just like these kinds of stouts should be to an extent, some cocoa definitely in there with some molasses, taste lasted pretty long and left me thirsty almost, wish this one was a little sweeter, probably the worst beer I had tonight out of the three but still not that bad, still could have used some more candy-like malt, too dry for my liking Did not go down very easily and probably could not have drank another sip, really heavy and taste can be overpoweing and overwhelming at times, this one is a sipper if there ever was one and hard to drink after the food and beer I had prior to ordering this Recommended if you are a stout fan, but does not go well with food and has a long dry aftertaste
