The Enabler got this next one from the Beer of the Month Club courtesy of Bootleg Bonnie. Steelhead Extra Stout pours an opaque black with thick frothy brown head. Heavy chocolate malt nose with a good balance of hops. The label looks oddly like another stout I know of with a trout on the front? The taste on this one is of a heavy grain bill that finishes with a burnt coffee aftertaste. The alcohol is there in part but the oaky flavor and bitterness is what captures the mouth, mouthfeel is full and warming. The yeast bed at the bottom was a welcomed sight and looked thick enough to re-culture. About a quarter into the pint the head is gone and reflects a black pool. 6.6%abv with a sigh of contentment.
