Really cool art on this can, their new labels look good. A bit more hops and some bourbon would have enhanced this but as it was, this beer canned on 5/25 was enjoyable and didn't last in my glass for very long! Feb 09, 2023 If you like your Stouts that way, you've met your match here as the alcohol was nearly imperceptible and another can could have easily been cracked open after finishing this off. Full in body, light in carbonation, and plenty sticky in the aftertaste, this was a fun beer without being overly sweet, heavy, or edgy. Not much of that showed up on the palate as this was smooth and reminiscent of peanut oil more than anything else. ![]() Loads of peanut butter, milk chocolate, and cocoa powder in the nose as the vanilla was felt more in the consistency than anything else. Lots of full, bubbly mocha head topped this off as the lacing that was left behind wasn't on par with this brew's initial appearance. No surprise that this poured a dark chocolate brown with a bit of garnet seeping in around the edges. While it wasn't the best of it's kind that I've reviewed, this was a nice take on the style that was sensual in all aspects and quite easy to drink given it's heft! Never had anything from Lead Dog before and this looked like it would be a fun beer. Picked this up at Safeway in Lovelock, Nevada when I was out that way a few months back.
