Oliphant Stout

 Oliphant Stout. 


6 % ABV, Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, Wisconsin.

Another label that begs a story to be told. An abandoned drum kit in a studio/practice space littered with Oliphant cans, a poster of a two headed puppy…what is going on? 

Strictly ebony, complete opacity, rich, luscious tan head. 

In the nose: caramel malt, cocoa, cream…mild roast. 

In the mouth: full body, rich texture. Semi sweet. Well balanced. Supreme drinkability for the dedicated stout fan. Just a little lush and just the right amount of smooth. Moderate bitterness. Altogether right on the money and super enjoyable non-pastry stout.

Hallelujah, they still exist! 

You might be a Chuck Norris if you can do a windmill kick, otherwise you're probably just a normal person, which is fine because we brewed this normal stout for you. Cheers!
