Assertive mineral-grained richness pushes back carbolic fizz as roasted chocolate busyness and mild hazelnut dab penetrate strong, acetous port-like finish. A veritable smorgasbord of spicy adjuncts cluster serene mocha resilience, making this a virtual buffet in a bottle. Regrettably, Moosehead Brewery threatened legal action for copyright infringement, making this temporarily extinct. Local Wyoming brewer, Grand Teton, now brews ’em.

Composed mahogany-hued dank-scented cream stout consumed by soft-watered chocolate-roasted barleymalts. Though not as creamy as outstanding high-level competition, bitter cocoa and rich hazelnut fulfill desired milder template.

All St. Peter’s brews bought in unusual small-neck flask-shaped green pint bottles. As best of the bunch, this robust midnight black stout juxtaposes smoked peat, charred oats, burnt toast, and soy milk against lactic sweet chocolate thrust. Silken cappuccino finish picks up roasted coffee bean souring and curt chicory penetration as molasses, vanilla, cookie dough, tobacco chew, and anise illusions gain luster alongside cola-walnut coarsening. Tertiary taffy-cocoa twinge bide time. St. Peter himself sips these at the pearly gates of heaven.

Moderately rich mahogany-marooned lactose stout issues creamy coffee froth to chocolate-roasted burnt caramel malting, settling into ashen black tar, charcoal and wood charred bitterness as lacey tan engulfs glass. But foamy carbolic fizz and harsh nutty dryness dissolve mocha banter by irresolute coffee bean finish.
