Draft pour pint at the 192 lake trail taproom, though I was told I mispronounced the name of this beer due to my lack of accent. Can you even lack an accent? Or just have a different one than another. Beer rating thoughts. I impress myself sometimes. Power is out but the beer is pouring. It’s the only thing to really do during a power outage. Reading requires a light source, as well as willingness to read. Beer sits there and says, "hey, why not me?" And I say "good point." To be homest, I didn’t even know Hales brewed a stout. I frequent the brewery, so i either don’t pay attention, or I don’t realize that everybody has a stout. Pours a near black with a tan fizz head. Soft roasted malt aroma. Flavor is light chocolate, roasted malt, and a suprising high carb for my usual stout. Has a warming feel to the finish, making it quite fitting to the name. I dislike winter, but love winter beers. Nicely done. Reading back to myself what I write in these ratings, a slightly hope I’m the only one who suffers through reading them.
