i was thinking this was an 09 but im not sure... best by is 7-11
appearance - dark dark brown with a decent mocha head dissipates and leaves minor lacing that stays forever.
smell - dark malts, bakers chocolate is minor, roasted malts, minor caramel
taste - similar but much more mellow
mouthfeel - thin but this is 5.8 stout im not use to it. and actually for that its thick and nicely carbonated especially for after best by
overall - nice beer for the style but i prefer oatmeal stouts just to more complexity and thicker bodies if i want a low abv and cheap price.

The Beer Republic. Jugando a The Wolf Among Us. En copa Teku. Baatante correcta stout americana, con ricas notas cafetosas, subiendose poco a la cabeza pero con bastante buen cuerpo para su bajo abv

Pours a black color. One inch head of an off-tan color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, slight roasted malt, spicy hops, slight alcohol, and a hint of chocolate. Fits the style of an American Stout. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, slight roasted malt, spicy hops, slight alcohol, and a hint of chocolate. Overall, good appearance, great blend, but lacking depth of body.

A- opaque black with minimal head and foam. Poor lacing on the pint.
S- wood, caramel and coffee notes.
F- coffee, wood and dark caramel flavors
M- creamy and medium bodied. The coffee lingers around in the mouth a bit longer than usual.
O- a good stout and would have it again.

Bottled 4/18/18; drank 8/22/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque brown appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big khaki head; frothy lace.
Fresh earth, cream & black coffee notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Fresh earth & mild cream flavors up front; burnt black coffee notes on the finish. A bit harsh.

Black color, thin white head. No discernible aromas. Strong malt flavors with a delayed finish of burnt wood, which leaves a weird aftertaste. I don’t get any of the caramel, chocolate, or coffee notes the bottle claims.
