Huck Stout
Double Shift Brewing Company

 

 

Pours back with a thick, khaki colored head. Head foams up to two fingers in height, and with its tight and foamy formation, retains well. Lacing is swathed about with fair regularity. Aroma is roasted malts with blueberries, and gooseberries. While it is no doubt a stout, its aroma keeps it lively, and friendly for a dark, soul-sucking liquid. Well delivered aroma gives the impression of enjoying dark beer on a river sand bar. Flavor profile is a touch darker then the aroma, with notes of roasted and toasted malts right at the forefront. It then winds into notes of blueberries, and gooseberries with a touch of the gooseberry pucker to it. It finishes earthy. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a good robustness. At 6.9%, it sips smooth while cold, and a little more robust as it warms. Overall, it's a incredibly smooth and delicious stout. It doesn't rely on a demonentor level of darkness to rely the stout style. Plenty of flavor and robustness, and yet approach-ability, lands this stout into a delightfully appreciable, and yet shareable with those new to the style, area that makes it a little... dangerous. Delightful.

Served in a 12oz snifter.
