Black Cab Stout: Review

Fuller’s London Black Cab Stout
Fuller, Smith, and Turner PLC
Griffen Brewery, London England



$4.99 a bottle
1pt .9oz bottle
Best before 28 Feb 14
4.5% abv

Appearance: black body with cola highlights; tan one finger head if that; no lacing


Aroma: some dark roasted malts; nothing much going on here

Flavors: mild overall; some dark roasted chocolate malts; chocolate like bitterness; roasted grains; charred oak on the back


Mouthfeel: low carbonation; bakers chocolate like bitterness; very dry; somewhat thick feel, not creamy to me; full-medium body; lingering dry bitter coffee feel

To the Point: a very nice mellow Irish stout; easy to drink; at 4.5% this would make a good stout to enjoy sitting around the campfire

Only one game today for the College Bowl Games: Take Alabama - give Oklahoma the 15 pts and a prayer. I don't like these big point spread games but, Alabama has to make up for one stupid play that killed their season (which I like seeing Alabama lose). Oh, I want to take Oklahoma and the points but, I think Alabama will be out for blood.
