Sierra Nevada Stout
a: beautiful rich deep black/brown with creamy tan head that lasts s: smells of sweet malts with hints of chocalate and coffee malts mixed with hops providing a complex kick. t: starts out on the sweet grainy side but takes a sharp turn toward the burnt coffee/hoppy bitterness; quite enjoyable, just a little bit too much of the latex bitterness that comes from burnt coffee malts at the finish m: nice and creamy with just the right amount of carbonation, enough to keep it smooth but interesting d: nice and creamy but a little bit too unbalanced in terms of burnt bitter flavors; still good but not the well-balanced beer I would expect from Sierra Nevada
