Beer 273: Wild Onions Can't Be Broken

Today's beer comes from Wild Onion Brewing Company, which is based in Barrington, Illinois. The selection is the Jack Stout -- described on the label as a full bodied and luscious stout brewed with five kinds of malts giving it a rich mouthfeel and nuances of chocolate and espresso. It has a 6% ABV.


It poured pitch black with deep cocoa color head. The head is quite dense but bubbled away and left a thin film behind. The aroma is rich chocolate with some fireplace. It drinks thin with a lactic sensibility. The flavor nicely melds chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. There is just the tiny bit of cola bite at the end. This is a very good beer.

Cheers! I'm off to TJ's in Paoli to watch the PSU Virginia game. This could be my last visit there depending on how the game goes!
