Stout Month Is Over!


April Fools... It's been a long dark month and some have wavered ever so slightly but overall many emails have come in about the dedication to the "Month of Evil", "Month of Darkness"? Overall a worthwhile effort that may continue next year, but who knows, I'll be back in the rotation next year for St. Pat's, it falls on a Wednesday, may need to take the last half of the week off! Tonight we try Lion Stout, which brings a certain tune to mind;) the bottle first and foremost is exquisite with its Lion's head crown, reminds me of a trappist bottle. Little tech info is available since the website is under construction. It poured up nicely in a goblet with a flattening head yieldng a dark African color of night. Flavor is a nice initially sweet malty full mouthfeel leading to a smokey end flavor. This 11.2oz beauty is a fine 8%abv BOTMC additon via The Enabler.
