Double Stout
Presentation: Bomber bottle poured into my Smuttynose tulip glass in two parts. No freshness date on the bottle, but I have had this for a couple months and the store where I buy it tends to have older Green Flash product. Appearance: Typical pitch black stout color with no light coming through. Nice brown-gray two finger, creamy head with good retention. Aroma: Chocolate, oats, and coffee beans all in good balance. Nothing too strong, but nicely balanced. Pleasant but a little one dimensional. Taste: Much like teh aroma, a good balance of bitter coffee beans, chocolate, and sweet oats. Not much hop presence, if any. Nice flavors and good balance, but nothing terribly complex or memorable. Mouthfeel: Creamy and full bodied. Very smooth. Drinkability: The alcohol is hidden so very well. Even with a decently strong profile, I could sip on this all day. Overall, a nice and flavorful stout with good balance. A bit one dimensional at times though. Definitely enjoyable and smooth though.
