Day 144- Beer 144 Matt's Sleepy Time Stout, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co., Vankleek Hill, Ontario

A nice sunny day, first in a while and I managed to get some work done outside, so what better than a brew named sleepy time. It is a Belgian Style Imperial Stout from the wild oats series no. 1. It poured a very dark brown, almost black with a large tan head on top. Great retention and nice sticky lace. The aroma was dark chocolate, roasted malts and coffee. The flavour was dark chocolate, hints of vanilla, espresso and just a touch of oak. A slightly bitter finish from the hops. This is very well balanced and a great stout. Think a dash for the marinade and the rest for the cook, you won't want to waste this one. 4 out of 5
