Black Bear from Bear republic Brewing Co.

Hello all, it's been a long time since I have been blogging but I figured why not. I tried a new beer today and since I need more calories in my diet plan, I figured why not a nice Stout. This one that I tired is from the Bear Republic Brewing Company in Sonoma Co. California. I wanted a nice dark stout and that is what I got with this one. It's called Black Bear!
I picked a good one and for 5 bucks in the 22oz bottle, it was a steal compared with other Stouts. This poured out pitch black with a solid two finger cap of brown foam, A perfect looking stout. Light carbonation bubbles quickly rising to the top give the head excellent retention. After most of the head was down I put my lips to the glass ready to taste from the pitch blackness within. Nice!! A sensation of malt with coffee and chocolate laced in the background. If you don't like a little after taste of malt and a little bitter you would not like this bear. It has an over all strong taste but no alcohol at the back. The carbonation is not noticible like some beers. I would say if you like a strong but smooth Stout/dark beer by all means try this one from Bear Republic Brewing Company in Sonoma Co. California
