Year of New Beer: Cap'n Skoon's Ballistic Stout, Westbrook Brewing Co. (SC)

Written By: Dion on 10/19/2013

Wow! Almost sinister in it's appearance, this beer is bad, bad...but in a good way. Rich, roasted coffee bean with layers of chocolate and smoke on the nose. On the tongue, cocoa powder bitterness and a slight saltiness get balanced by a creamy sweetness, all of which masks the alcohol nicely. Westbrook knows their stouts...anybody want to make a beer run to South Carolina?
