Sierra Nevada Stout

You can't go wrong with Sierra Nevada (I know I'm starting to say that about a lot of breweries these days) and their stout is no exception. I finally was able to buy a single and try it out this week. Pouring down the center of a Sam Adams perfect pint glass yielded a four finger head, which left lots of tan lacing decorating the glass on the way down. Subtle coffee and dark chocolate aromas right off the bat. Some plums, figs and black cherries round out the flavor profile. There is some bitterness from the hops, but in fine balance with the sweet malts. This is the time of year for the dark ones...get 'em while it's dark.
