Blue Blood 467 Ethan's Stout

Some of you may remember that Blue Blood was a featured sponsor and official beer of the Nick Kelso Annual Fourth of July Extravaganza last year, and that a thermos of a then-unnamed stout was making the rounds to the truly initiated. Well, Blue Blood's 467 Ethan's Stout is that beer. Pouring a creamy dark mahogany with a 2 1/2 finger frothy tan head this is far and away one of the best stouts out there. Unpretentious (am I pretentious for using the word unpretentious?) but full of flavor and character. Low hoppiness, with a feel like chocolate milk. Chocolate and coffee notes are evident, but subdued, making this an enjoyable experience. Forget about that bad experience that you had with Guinness when you were 14...this is your next stout!
