Elkhead Black Stag Stout

Brewed by Elkhead Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Buckley, Washington USA

draft at the brewery. this beer is actually called black stag and is 6.5%. must send an email. dark ebony brownish black with a surging, creamy tan head. beautiful sheets of lace. big roasty, chocolatey nose. very, very creamy medium body. chocolate comes roaring out right away, followed by toast, nuts, and vanilla on the mid palate. god, this is a sweet and delicious stout. long chocolatey finish.

growler from brewery, day after. maple black pour with thin frothy tan head. fresh hoppy, roasted malt and coffee aroma. hoppy mouth. bitter chocolate, coffee, peppery. a bit strange.

Not a bad stout. Pours dark and medium bodied with thin head. Aroma of roasted malt and slight hops. Flavor is roasted malt. light chocolate, light coffee. Pretty nice.

Really weird that this place has very few ratings, yet fakepurseninja was there today too, or at least putting his ratings in today? This is an impressive stout...probably my favorite of the beers I tried there. Sits on oak chips for a while, and you can tell. Lots of roasted grain flavor. Definite vanilla and nuttiness from the oak chips. Today, they were also serving this through their "Hop Back", which has hops and woodchips shoved into a water filter hooked up to the keg. Sweetened it and increased the bitterness, but I prefered the regular stout. This brewery was a very nice surprise!

Very nice stout - flavor was way too difficult to determine but there was a lot of earthy flavors, maybe some dark chocolate/cocoa taste. Slight sweet berry essense. Very enjoyable and smooth. Dark as the new moon.
