Heads Per Capita
American Solera

 

This one pours a very dark and thick looking black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like brownie batter, dark chocolate, sweet bourbon, vanilla frosting, caramel cream, and milk chocolate.

This is pretty ridiculous. It's so thick and densely flavored, with gobs of fudge and brownie batter, along with vanilla/caramel/hot chocolate, and a touch of bitter oak. The bourbon is well integrated, and doesn't really add any booziness - it just kind of adds that caramel and a bit of spice.

This is really thick and chewy, with a big creaminess. It's surprisingly drinkable for the ABV, as the booze is very well hidden.

American Solera seems to have completely jumped to the forefront of the stout game recently - this is really excellent.

 

 

Dark brown and smells of milk chocolate, gum and booze. Smells of dark chocolate with accompanying faint bitterness, hints of pine, and has a slight heat in the finish. Butterscotch, tannins and prunes are noticed as it warms. Coffee w/ cream in the aftertaste. Medium but never thing. An involving RIS. Livin' on Tulsa time never tasted so good.
