Year of New Beer: Big Bear Black Stout, Bear Republic Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 03/05/2014

Big notes of roasted malts, bitter espresso, and herbal hops on the nose. Milder notes of dark chocolate and cherry join in on the tongue, with a significant woody char. Hoppier than most stouts with a well-hidden alcohol that remains subdued throughout the glass. Well done.
