Brew Review #23
Magic Hat Odd Notion Fall 2009 Belgian Chocolate Stout
American Double Stout
Magic Hat, South Burlington, Vermont, USA
I RATE THIS BEER: 77
RELEASE: Special One-off Production // THE ABV. 6.2% | IBU’s. 50 // THE NOSE: Leather, Copper Penny, Jägermeister, Diesel Exhaust // THE TASTE: Cumin, Black Beans, Blue Cheese, Almond, Ginger Cookie // THE BOTTOMLINE: A featherweight double stout with a leathery, slightly medicinal nose and lots of prominent copper, tin and ash flavors. This brew doesn't stand up to the available competition at all, especially taking into account its cost prohibitive means of acquisition - this beer is only available in Magic Hat’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Winter 2009 variety box. // THE BACKBONE: Pale, Crystal, Dark Crystal and Roasted Barley Malts, Columbus Hops, Belgian Ale Yeast // PRICE POINT: $20 | 4x 12oz bottles //
