Black Lab Stout - McKenzie Brewhouse - Malvern, PA




Black Lab Stats:

O.G. = 13" Plato
ABV = 5.8%
IBUs = 20





This excellent Oatmeal Stout offers no shortness on taste. A wonderful array of dark and creamy flavors such as coffee and chocolate barrage the taste buds with each sip (or gulp if you are like me). And smooth, as a stout should be, to boot! And unlike most other dark beers that I've had, I didn't feel uncomfortable or overly full after drinking about 4 of them. If there's one complaint about this beer it's that you can't purchase it everywhere. In fact, the only place that I'm aware of where you CAN purchase this tasty beverage is inside the lovely confines of McKenzie Brewhouse outside of Malvern, PA. Even the other location of this same restaurant (in Chadd's Ford, PA) sells different beer selections created by a different brewmaster.

This beer gets an A out of me -- I'm assuming the high grade is A+, with a variable number of 'plus' signs, of course -- because it really couldn't have been much better and I didn't get sick of it by the end of the night.

Alas, I suppose I need to visit THIS McKenzie Brewhouse again soon!
