I both love stouts, and hate stouts. That is, 50% of all the stouts I’ve had taste like someone spilled ash in the fermenter. The other half however, can be be truly awesome. And as luck (or unluck) would have it, I have just had the second best stout I’ve ever had, courtesy of our favorite homebrew champ Jonathan Edwards. I say unluck, because its likely the only one I’ll ever have. Mr. Edwards brews are in high demand these days. Sigh. I suppose the memory of a super smooth, dark and malty brew will have to suffice until I can make it back to SD for the champ Black Seal Stout. Thanks again Jonathan. Jerk.
