There are many beers out there with unpalatable nomenclature, for reasons unknown to us all. Of course, Moose Drool Brown Ale from Big Sky of Montana. Turns out there's a porter from South Dakota called Pile-0-Dirt, who can say why. (Coming soon to this page.) The unfortunately named Armpit Ale from Kentucky, and Idaho's Monkey Gland Secretions Saison. (Okay, I made those two up.) Add to this list Buffalo Sweat. Why?
Anyway, let's open the can, ...and think back to September, 2010 when I wrote this about it:
"Dangerously Dark, Authentically Awesome, Pour A Pint..."
Yes, Dark. Not sure how dangerous it is...Lovely, cocoa-tan head, nice looking stout.
Aroma: Pitch perfect oatmeal stout, smooth and creamy, chocolate, silky smooth. Slightly sweet.
Taste: Mmm, more of the same, just lovely. Easy down the throat, roasty malt, toasty, oatmeal smooth, light cocoa taste. Super drinkability.
All in all, a nice, easy drinking stout. Could be fuller, could be richer, but this is what it is, and it's pretty nice. I'd have one again, but I don't think I'd seek it out. There's richer, fuller stouts that'll grab my dollars.

I love this beer. I had it out at CANFEST (Reno) last fall. I'm a sucker for a great cream stout though.
I'm patiently awaiting the day that Tallgrass distributes out to the East coast...
