Z Man Stout
Had this on draft at City Beer. Pours nice and jet black with a light brown head. Got the last of the keg thankfully. Initial smell yields deep malts and chocolate. Upon first few sips I want to label this "grown man chocolate milk" which probably has most beer drinkers thinking they'll order this for their girlfriend while they have an IPA or something but not so fast. This beer is delicious and drinks multiple levels of intertwined chocolate and malt, at some points seeming slightly bitter and at some points sweet. What makes this beer great in my opinion is the mouthfeel. It was labeled as their version of a "foreign export" stout which is where this beer comes through. It maintains that flavorful complexity of an American stout but with a pleasant dry malt finish with slight hop bite flavor typical of a dry stout. It was heavy to the sip but with a nearly flawless transition to a smooth easy finish. Disappointed I had the last one. I could've easily done a few more... and not been able to bike home.
