Big Bear Black Stout
22oz bottle from Bruisin Ales (Asheville, NC). 6.99. Served in a snifter. Pours black with about 1 finger quickly dissipating tan head. Faint lacing. Smells of chocolate, plums, roasted malt and faintly metallic. Pretty bold and complex right from the start. Bursts of dark fruit, burnt dark malts and chocolate. Long pleasant bitter finish. Medium thick body with low carbonation. Not too much carbonation but you can tell it's there. Well done and not over priced. I'd happily have this again.
