Pryes Foreign Extra Stout

Pryes Foreign Extra Stout. 7% ABV, 38 IBU. Pryes Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Dark brown body, near-impenetrable, though not quite black, under a toasted tanned head, lasts long, leaves lace.

In the nose: soft, creamy, semi-sweet, majorly malty, with not a whiff out of hops. Fits the style just fine.

In the mouth: More smooth, more creamy, more just-enough sweet. And, again, mostly malt, with the right chocolate notes and a dap of espresso. This one gets it done. Getting richer and maltier as we go in, and more alcohol-y, too. (Something was telling me this was 8% ABV, but further research finds the fact published as 7%.)

Incredibly smooth, and quite tasty. This one was killed with no problem. And I will be back for more.
