Review
Overall Score: 6.0
FOD is average in appearance with decent foam on the pour. The mouthfeel is medium and consistent with other stouts. I went back for multiple drinks before taking notes because the flavors are so subtle. By the end of the beer, I was unable to taste the sea salt and caramel, which was disappointing. The rich chocolate flavors are moderate and do enough to avoid a shitty experience. Tupps is a solid brewery, but this is an average stout, and a bit of surprise given the 11.5% ABV and selection of flavors (chocolate, caramel, and sea salt). While the overall rating is decent and a purchase isn’t outright discouraged, I expected more…just like freestyling Bane expected more from his men. The Dark Knight Rises is easily one of the greatest comedy movies ever made. Cheers Degenerates and Bane!
