Big Bear Black Stout
Part of an Autumn tasting @ Grapevine in Fort Mill, SC. Poured from bomber to pint glass. Appearance was very nice, a chunky thick brown black with minimal creamy head. Crisp toasty notes of malts & coffee/espresso with nice balance of alcohol to flavor. Hint of bourbon at finish that lingers with the bitterness of the hops in this stout. Bready, but very drinkable as a stout should be. A fine example with the complexity so well layered the alcohol all, but disappears.
