Our Tastes-- Lazy Magnolia Sweet Potato Cream Stout

Supplied by Junk and reinforced by in-laws as a great autumn seasonal. Jeff Stout or Sweet Potato Cream Stout by Lazy Magnolia pours a dark brown and loose flat head. Taste of interesting coffee toffee lactose laden sweet potatoes. Yep it wafts of sweet potatoes along with roasted grain and crushed conversion sugars. I've read of distilleries going to sweet potatoes for their mash as a copy of soju, but this is my first sweet potato beer. There seems to be extra tannin to it either from the chocolate or roasted malt. Good beer but not my favorite. 4.5%abv makes it a great fall/winter session. Wonder if there's extra vitamin A in it?
