Big Bear Black Stout
S - Poured from a 22 oz bottle into an imperial pint glass. Appearance - dark black with a light chocolate brown hued head; fluffy and thick. Smell - Notes of caramel, chocolate malt, and coffee. Taste - Smooth taste without a bitter finish. A light coffee flavor with hints of chocolate malt. Possibly one of the smoothest tasting and finishing stouts I've had in quite some time. Mouthfeel - light but solid ... very filling Drinkability - Smooth finish with a fantastic taste ... it is way too easy to plow through several bombers. Though it is +8%, it is not very noticeable. A fantastic interpretation of the style; I will certainly be going back to the store for more. Simply put, this stout is a Big Teddy Bear ... strong in character with a soft and subtle character. Fantastic.
