Creekside Special Stout

Brewed by Creekside Brewing Company
Style: Stout
San Luis Obispo, California USA

Draught at the brewpub. Black with a small tan head. Big roasted malt aroma with light coffee, but mostly vivid roasted grain. The flavor is also very roasty, with some dark chocolate and medium roast bitterness. Not much hop character breaking through the big malt flavor. Medium-full bodied with medium carbonation. The big roast component dries that flavor out and makes this very drinkable despite the strength. The profile is almost like a dry stout turned up a couple notches. The best beer of the flight.
