Ridgway Brewing's Foreign Export Stout

I must confess my ignorance as to what make a stout one that is foreign and to be exported. If it's foreign, wouldn't you haves to import it? And aren't all exports to foreign places? I don't know.

What I do know is that it pours a nice, almost completely opaque black with a good tan head that sticks. And that it smells grainy and substantial.

Tastes the same. It's straightforward, with a solid roasted grain that keeps its grainy taste and has a limited amount of the other chocolate or coffee tastes or smoothness that lactose can impart. Simple.

Great beer. Glad I picked up one of every Ridgway beer I saw.
