This is the smoothest stout I've ever had. Really. It's not as heavy as most stouts, but it isn't watery either.

It pours dark, really dark, almost but not quite as dark as a Guinness. And then there's that dark, burnt, yummy smell not unlike coffee.

As for the taste, there's a touch of sweetness on the way down but otherwise it tastes like it smells with those bready, coffee-like textures.

Drink this.
