Shakespeare Stout from Rogue Ales Brewery / Brewer's on the Bay
Rating: A
Split this bottle with my dad tonight before dinner.
Appearance: Pours an opaque dark brown/black, with a head that's surprisingly light in color. Nice looking head, good retention, some lacing.
Smell: A very nice smelling beer. Lots of complexity here. Cocoa, roast, coffee, and some earthy hops in the background.
Taste: Much like it smells, although not quite as good I don't think. I think I'm starting to get a feel for what Pacman yeast tastes like, and this is quintissentially, Rogue. Aftertaste has a good bit of bitter chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, good carbonation. Nice.
Drinkability: A well-balanced American stout. Very nice.
Serving type: bottle
