Great Lakes Blackout Stout
12 oz. bottle, A: Black body, with thick tan head which quickly dissipates to leave little lacing. S: The smell is the best part of this beer. It is very good, smells of dark fruits, roasted barley, thick dark chocolate, some soy sauce and molasses. T: Roasted barley predominately, a bit too boozy, hop biterness evident at the end. M: I'm missing the heft and body of a traditional RIS. Feels like a porter, not a 9% stout. Not going to completely bash it since it feels good beerwise, just a bit too thin. D: It's allright, not the best RIS out there for sure. I guess I expected more from it being in the top 100. A good beer, it tastes good, would have it again, it just didn't live up to my expectations.
