Rock Bottom’s Black Seal Stout isn’t the Bottom of the Barrel
First of all, sorry for my tardiness in coming to this fine site. Hopefully my additions will be worth the wait. It took some thought to decide what beer my first review should be about, but I decided to start on a high note. I decided to start with my all time favorite beer (so far), the Black Seal Stout from Rock Bottom Brewery. For those of you unfamiliar with the sublime experience that is Black Seal Stout, it is chocolate-y and coffee-y but without any burnt flavors sneaking in to ruin the party. It’s also very smooth and very dark. Light doesn’t stand a chance of getting through it. I would probably drink this exclusively if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve never been able to drink more than one pint at a time. I will admit that my taste in beer runs on the less hoppy side, more malty side, but this beer epitomizes that. If you’re in the mood for a rich, creamy after-dinner drink, may I humbly suggest the Black Seal Stout.
Until next time, here’s to beer you can’t see through.

Firstly, I would like to welcome Hops-scotch to the site, and wish him well in his drunken endeavors.
Secondly, I would like to give a firm HELL YEAH to Black Seal stout. Holy crap is that stuff good. It is by far the best stout I’ve ever had…but sadly is only available at Rock Bottom in S.D. Bastards.

Crud, I love stouts, and I’m just down the road from Rock Bottom. What the hell am I doing drinking crappy beer?
And I wholeheartedly agree — beer you can’t see through is always worth a try…
