This is one of the best beers I have had in a long time. Thankfully, I landed a six pack when the elves drove back from Michigan the other week. This stout defines rich and would be a great introduction to beer for any chocoholic or coffee fiend who says they hate beer: licorice, espresso, dark chocolate with something like a 85% cocoa count. Add to that the rich double cream effect caused by the soft water and yeast enhanced by a slight dusty texture like you get from a good cup of coffee. Deep black ale under a whirl of deep mocha foam and froth. Plenty of love from the BAers.
