The beer that started it all for Spiteful is back! Our original recipe is packaged for sitting back and reflecting on what a dumpster fire of a year 2020 was. COVID-19, the endless zooms....you know what? Let's not go down that shitty memory lane. Nothing else needs to be said. G. F. Y. 2020!

11/9/20 @ Spiteful Brewing (Chicago, Illinois) Spiteful Brewing G. F. Y. Stout, an 8% Dry American Stout, $5.5 for 10 oz.

Appearance: Pitch black pour, tan head recedes quickly leaving ring around the top of the pour. 3.75

Aroma: Rich chocolate roast malt aroma, backed my toffee and caramel. Bold, pleasant and on the sweet side. 4.0

Taste: Wow, this really packs a punch. Bold sweet caramel and peanut butter, reach creamy and excellent. A beer Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, with a salt fudge back. Coffee not detected in the aroma also bold, rich and incredible. This is one of my favorite non barrel aged stouts, how have I not had this before. 5.0

Mouthfeel: Rich thick creamy rich body, salty dry and slight bitterness keep the sweetness in check. Light fizzy carbonation, sweetness lingers in the aftertaste, very pleasant. 4.75

Overall: An incredible stout, bold flavorful, full rich aroma and body. Spiteful is Chicago’s most underrated brewery, pound for pound the strongest IMO. Will always order this when I see this in the future. 4.75
