Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout

Brewed by Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Kiln, Mississippi USA

Sampled at Music City Brewers Festival. Smells of sweet potatoes and roast coffee. The taste reminds me of sweet potato casserole and burnt marshmallow. Some chocolate as well. Disappointing because of the cool concept. Falls short on the palette. Tasted flat.

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Pitch black, tan head. Aroma is astringent roast, chocolate, coffee. Taste is the same, bitter astringent malt finish, typical stout flavors are slightly muddled.

Tap at Mellow Mushroom Jackson MS. Black with no head. Nose is nice and roasty, malty and chocolately. Taste is a bit milder than the nose. All flavors present and also a bit sweet. Body is light for a stout and the alcohol is well hidden. Overall a decent beer.

draft @ Cooper Brown, NOLA. pours dark brown, beige head. aroma and taste, roasted malts with caramel, dark malts, light medium carbonation, hints of caramel with a touch of smoke in the finish. Hints of chocolate and some bitter hops come finish this one with some roast.

It is a Sweet Potato Cream Stout, AWESOME! Tap @ the 1st Annual Rocket City Brewfest. 08 may 09. Dark brown pour. Aroma of roast and some coffee. Flavor has a nice roast, odd sweetness, some chicory, and light coffee. Considering it is a beer from Mississippi, this beer is awesome. A+

Had several times on tap @ J. Clyde A - Pours a handsome dark brown color with a very thin head which disappears very quickly. I’ve never experienced any lacing on the glass with this beer. S - Nice aromas of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate...smells very robust. Hop aromas are not present but still smells very nice. T - Disappointing flavor follows such a fine smelling beer. The flavors present in the aroma just don’t pop in the taste. It has a relatively thin/watery feel which seems to take away from the big flavors I expect to find. Slight bitterness balance out the dark malt flavors. M - Thinner than I like in a stout D - This is a very easy drinking stout. It’s relative light body make it very drinkable and one could have a ton of these in a drinking session.

Another great selection by this brewery. No heavy flavor or taste. This beer is full of nice subtleties. The sweet potato is a great addition. I recommend this to anyone likes a great stout or someone who isnt too sure about dark heavy beers. This one is easy drinking and lighter than most stouts.

Draft sample at the Free the Hops 2009 Blastoff Party. Black in the glass with a tan head that had some lasting a light lace. Roasty malt aroma with milk chocolate undertones. The flavor also found roast and chocolate with some coffee. Medium body with a coffee aftertaste. Tasty!
