  Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout
  rated 4.7 16 years ago

  Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

  22 oz bomber from the corkscrew in urbana pours very dark black with a chocolate colored head that disappears quickly with very little evidence of lacing the aroma is tons of chocolate and toffee the flavor is more dominated by the toffee and is very smooth there is a slight hint of whiskeyness but the alcohol is very well hidden in this brew the finish is smooth the mouthfeel is very smooth with just a hint of carbonation and no unpleasent bite very good stout one of my favorites now

  bottle poured into a glass very clear light amber with a nice white head and tons of lace, lots of citrus and hops but not as much as i expected the flavor was well balanced citus and hops with nice pine notes but the wateryness at the end left me wanting something else i dont know but it seemed rather thin and lacking in the mouthfeel but other than that definitely a qaulity brew
