Lights Out Stout: An Amateurish Beer Review

Hmm. An aluminum can containing a stout from an Oregon microbrewery with hops as the logo. This could be an over-hopped nightmare. Dare we give it a go?

The stats:

30 IBU, 7.7 ABV.

The pitch:

Hints of vanilla, coffee & nutty flavors with a smooth, creamy finish.

The review:

The lack of an Oxford comma on the can blurb is almost unforgivable.

Fortunately, the beer in the can is pretty good. It's not over-hopped, for starters. It's also far from watery. There is some serious substance to this brew. I think it's actually a bit more complex than I like, but it's not unwelcome. Just different. I have yet to find something Iike more than Guinness Extra Stout, though.

Today is also apparently Beer Can Appreciation Day, so check out this video on aluminum can manufacturing. It's a neat engineering feat.

That channel has all kinds of other neat manufacturing videos, too. Check it out while enjoying a cold one. Or check out more machine porn about aluminum can manufacturing.
