Secret Stairs is our signature Boston Stout. Bold and balanced; satisfying with a substantial body, but not syrupy or sweet. Roasted malt provides a nutty, earthy backdrop to bitter cocoa and little hints of caramel. Smooth mouthfeel with a drying sensation on the finish. We brew Secret Stairs to highlight the unique physical connection between Summer Street and A Street. We raise a pint of Secret Stairs to The Fort Pointer; the neighborhood’s favorite protagonist!

Bottle shared in London - picked up in the US. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Well toasted bread in the nose, some milk chocolate. Medium sweet flavor with more milk chocolate, light roast, some scorched earth. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish, with more milk chocolate, low bitterness. Good drinking stuff.

650 ml bottle, thanks to Willrunforbeer. Bottle date of 6/21/16. Dark brown/ black color, fast dying tan head. Aroma of ash, roasted grain, barley. Deep roast.
Considering the gravity, this has a ton of flavor. Dark chocolate, charcoal / ash, maybe even a light vanilla like note. Body is medium plus with a smooth, velvety texture and mouthfeel. I find it amazing that this is just sitting on shelves at Redstone Liquors. Everybody wants the hoppy brews from this Brewer but this is very well crafted for a 6 percent stout.
