Earth Rider North Tower Stout

Earth Rider North Tower Stout.
6 % ABV. 28 IBU.
Earth Rider Brewing, Superior, WI.

Utterly opaque, solid darkness, slim brown head.

In the nose: Roast, toast, sweet malt turns dry. Cocoa and coffee. Sweet and bitter at once.

In the mouth: Mostly malty, touch of sweetness, bit of bitter, roast takes over until it all goes dry. Dark, rich, smooth, chocolatey. Note perfect stout.

Once again, it's the final can of a six-pack. I enjoyed the first five free of note-taking, and procrastinated for the last one. It's a good one, and I'll be back for more.

Here’s to the working harbor. Malty accents of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit are balanced with a restrained hop presence in this stouthearted ale. Hold fast
