Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout

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

On draft at the flying saucer in memphis and at J Clydes in birmingham. Very dark brown pour with no real amount of tan head. Nose is chocolate and has a slight nuttiness with coffee notes. Flavor is mainly a sweet chocolate. I was able to detect a hint of sweet potatoe on the finish, but I think that was only cause I was told to look for it.

Poured from a party pig into a Lazy Magnolia pint glass. Pours dark brown with only the slightest amount of light showing through the edges. The head was a massive light mocha which lingers as a cap and leaves good lacing. The aroma is fairly mild and dominated by dark roasted malts and lactose. There is also some sweet sugary notes that might be attributable to the sweet potatoes. The taste is even sweeter than the aroma suggests with some chocolate, brown sugar and sweet potatoes. There is still some roasted malts in the background but this a very sweet stout. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of carbonation. This is an extremely drinkable stout and one of the better sessionable stouts I’ve had in a while. I’m glad I had the opportunity to pick this up, and it is, without a doubt, the best beer I’ve had from my home state of Mississippi.

on tap at Hal & Mal’s-pours a rich foamy brown head and black color. Aroma is sweet dark malt-roasty/molasses/chocolate, hint of earthy hops bite. Taste is sweet dark malt-roasty/coffee/molasses/chocolate, secondary earthy hops bite. Borderline porter. Nice.

Nose is roasted malts and barley. Lovely very dark with thin off white head. This beer is really dominated by the barley flavors of toast and bitterness. Light very nice influence of sweet potatoes. Nice mouthfeel. As a lover of beers with dark roasted grains this was an enjoyable one. Second only to Blue Heron in the Lazy Mag lineup. Well crafted.

Cask. Pours a deep, dark brownish black with a huge beige head. Subtle earthy malt aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet wit ha toasted malt thing going and lots of lactic smoothness and creaminess. Didn’t get much of the sweet potatoes. Very, very smooth and creamy on the palate ... almost too smooth. You could drink this stuff like water. Very tasty.

Draught. Beautiful, almost black color. Nice off-white head that goes the distance. Just slightly thin mouth feel for a stout. This is one fine stout. Great taste of roasted malt. After the Blue Heron, this is my favorite of the Lazy Magnolia beers I have tried. If you can get this where you live, count yourself lucky.

Had a fair head with a dark, black-brown color. Has a sweet, malty quality to it. I expected something a little different coming from a sweet potato, but it was a good beer and worth trying.

I’ve had all but one of the Lazy Magnolia brews and this is probably my favorite. Pours black with nice creamy head that hangs around until the end. This is made with sweet potatoes and a bit of milk lactose. I cant say that I taste either but this is one smooth stout.
