Our winter seasonal, Stout Affective Disorder is a dark beer for dark days. Roasted malt is expertly balanced against hop bitterness, yielding a short finish to this highly sessionable beer. Roasty, toasty, and a little nutty, it will also compliment such foods as squash, grilled steak or crème brûlée.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a finger high tan head that died down, leaving a collar around the edge, lots of lacing down the sides of the glass, and a thin film of bubbles covering the surface.
S: The smell has moderate aromas of lightly roasted and toasted malts.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste is quite malty and has flavors of lightly roasted malts along with notes of toasted malts. Not much in the way of bitterness is present, but there's enough in the way of underlying hops to hide any traces of sweetness that you might expect. As the beer warms up, flavors of burnt malts become noticeable and these linger into the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is a lot maltier compared to other beers in the style and isn't your typical type of stout. In any event, I found it to be interesting.
