Salem Sue Stout

Draft: Pours black with a short tan head. Dark chocolate, plum/raisin aroma. Dark, fruity, chocolate malt, brownies in the flavour. Creamy, slightly roasted bittering. Quite nice.

Tap at the brewery. dark black pour. nose is roasty and of brownies. tastes of rootbeer, brownie mix, roast malt, bitter earth and slight coffee grounds. thinner palate and easy drinking but nice enough.

Draft at the first ever North Dakota Brewers Festival. Dark maroon brown color, tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of lightly toasted brownies. Taste has coffee and cream, milk chocolate. Nice.

Tap @ Outlaws, Williston. Dark brown pour with a smallish beige head and light lacing. Nose is smoky and sweet, as is the taste. A bit of roasted malt and coffee, but the smoke is really catching my attention. There is a bit of sweetness that helps mellow out the smoke, before I knew it I had nearly finished the pint. Good stuff, glad to see it being distributed outside of Bismark/Mandan.
