I was so excited to taste this brew that I didn't set up my shot anymore. I usually fix a slower shutter speed. But for this shoot, it was just auto mode with flash.
A really dark beer, black almost. I'm drinking this quite chilled, and it's very enjoyable. The richness and thickness of the liquid is marvelous, the toffee tastes produce little explosions in the palate. This is a very strong stout, flavor wise. I smell coffee, cocoa. The bitterness is subdued. The hops are not the stars here, it's the cafeteria flavors and smells that prevail and excel.
I'd venture to say that this is the best stout I've had so far. I have some heavyweight brews in the pipeline, with one Imperial Stout included, but until I taste that one, I won't hesitate to rate this Steelhead as my best stout yet.
A bottle or a glass of excellent stout may be the perfect standalone beer.
