So Home Brewmart here in San Diego is owned and operated by Ballast PINT Brewing. Mike and I needed to pick up a couple last minute supplies before our next batch of home brew and decided to take advantage of the tasting room in the back. Turns out a 4 oz taster is $1. Not a bad deal.
I decided to try the Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Monster Stout. This 10% stout tastes ore like bourbon that beer. Never a bad thing, but in this case could be a little over powering. This is definitely not a beer that you would want to drink a bomber of by yourself. The 4 oz taster was enough for me.
Very chocolaty with little to no head from the pour. It may be that the taster glass prevented that. A 4 oz taster, paired with a rich dessert, would be the perfect end to a meal. Something like a cheesecake.
Once you have this don't bother drinking anything after as you will not be able to taste it. The flavor coats your mouth and lingers. I tried a scotch ale after and it tasted like a mild lager.
