Big Bear Black Stout
Poured into 10oz glass. The beer was mostly black, with slight dark brown translucence, and had less than 3/4 inch of light brown head that had medium retention and decent lacing. The aroma was nicely rich and roasty, with some grainy malt in the background and no noticeable hop presence. The flavor had some nice roast as well, just not as bold as in the aroma. The malt has a bit bolder presence, but there was a bit of a weird tang on the finish that could have been hops or yeast, I couldn't really sort it out. The body was far thinner than I look for in the style. Drinkability was decent, but that weird finish cost it a half point. Overall, a decent beer that's not really that far away from being great. Worth trying.
