Sierra Nevada Brewing Company's Stout

Stout. Says it all, right? Not Torpedo, or some other goofy name. Stout.

Pours deeper than most straight-up stouts. Not heavier in body really, but definitely more opaque. Great roasted malt smell. Definitely more substance to it than most stouts. Slight but not insignificant hops zing to it.
Perfect for a stout. Not really a roasted coffee or chocolate taste, just roasted malt and a solid bitterness that's not grassy or piney, it just let's you know it's there.

Every time I drink something from Sierra Nevada I can't help but think that this is everything BBC wishes it could be.
