One of my favorite stouts and its hard to believe its taken me this long to get around to rating it. Everytime I sip it, I say 'Oh God thats good'. Nice sweet and slight roasted flavor. Very rich and thick.A recent revisiting of this stout has me concerned. I've lowered the numbers not because of the recent sampling but just because I was shooting just a tad too high even for how I remember this to be. But the recent sampling? I would only give that maybe a 2.9! Aroma was still chocolatey but the light roast was missing. Aroma was weaker with some sour milk. Flavor was more sour milk, light chocolate, little roast presence. Too much tang on the whole. I didn't finish it. Bad bottle? Bad palate? Bad memory? I don't know and that's why I'm not going to base the rating on that sample, but I'm writing up here just as a potential concern. Appearance still nice, dark black tinged brown, dark brown yet thin head.
