As a lefty myself, I like this brewery's name, and I love the hands-on-cow graphic on the label.

Poured into a tulip glass from the 12 oz. bottle.

a. As black as a stout ever gets. The thick inch plus tan head shrank slowly to a dense surface foam film with loads of lacing. The head on this sucker is outstanding. Looking good!

s: Dark malty goodness!

t: Stout leaning to porter. Not as strictly malty as I like my stouts to be, but so many stouts today seem to have that roasty hop porterness. I really enjoy a good porter, but if I want a low hop stout like I was hoping this would be, I want to taste the malt!

m: Smooth for a porter, not as velvety as a really good stout can be. I'm thinking of my local brewer just down the road, who makes a great milk stout that is my personal gold - er dark brown standard.

o: Similar in taste to the Avery Out of Bounds Stout I had and reviewed recently, but a little more stoutly. And more carbonation. I'd take this one over Avery's, although at least in my area Avery's price point deserves the A it gives itself on their labeling. $1.25 is always better than $2 if you are the buyer, especially if you are part Scottish.
