Take 16 Stormy Jack Irish-style Stout

Take 16 Brewing Company, Luverne, Minnesota. I've never been to Luverne. Most people have never heard of it, until they started watching season two of "Fargo." But, my younger brother Wayne went to visit his in-laws in Luverne and visited their new-ish brewery called Take 16 (named after an old road that one would take) and brought back a growler for me. This was a few weeks ago. It's way past time to drink it up, and here we go!

4.8% ABV. 36 IBU. Irish-style dry stout.

Full-on ebon coloring, slim brownish head.

Aroma: soft and chocolatey, semi-sweet, scant bitterness, a little caramel and toffee.

In the mouth: smooth and creamy, deep and rich, easy-drinking. Definitely a sessionable stout. Swift finish, flavor leaves the mouth Small amounts of bitterness, rich maltiness, tasty, It returns with each new sip and swallow, but doesn't linger on.

I like this. It's good. It does what it has to do. Good beer, you can drink it. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
