Our Tastes-- Reaper Ale Mortality Stout

The last dark beast of the night was Reaper Ale Mortality Stout. First of all the website alone is wicked. It poured abysally black with a head so brown it looked like crushed gingerbread men. The aroma was a sweet alcohol hop and a sweet stout taste with coffee on the sides of the tongue in between sips. It had a great lattice. ABV 7.5% and horizon as boiling hop additions. The site lists six beers year round, including some named Sleighor and Redemption Red. Nothing else about how they came into existence is listed just that they are located in Foothill Ranch, CA (the same place Oakleys are made). This was by far rhe best stout of the night and possibly the best I've ever had.
