Great Lakes Blackout Stout
Thanks to dschuster03 for the trade. Pours opaque black with a good fluffy white head that dissipates in about 5 minutes and leaves good lace. Nose is mostly roasted malt and has a significant but not overpowering coffee presence and slight chocolate. Taste pretty much follows, some chocolate, coffee is there, Roasted malts, slight smoke and some vanilla. A good subtle hop bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is on the thin side, but still pretty good. Drinkability is second to only a select few here, very very good. Overall this is a wonderfully balanced beer, and one that would defenitely be a go to if it was available here. yet another good one from great lakes, a brewery you don't hear alot about but should. Great brew, would love to try the barrel aged, and am excited to try one of the three bottles in the cellar after some time. Great beer.
