Beer-a-Day #293
The Poet has a rich, smooth malt character enveloped in tones of roast and chocolate. A soft mouth-feel brings luxurious flavors and soothing aroma. Any time of year, The Poet is as versatile as it is delicious. It pairs wonderfully with earthy flavors such as mushrooms and beef, while remaining the perfect accent to any chocolate dessert.
Why this isn’t from a brewer in Baltimore I’ll never know. No matter; I love a good oatmeal stout.
Deep, dark brown. Roast coffee in the aroma. Smooth and rich, with more roasted flavor. This is good.
I saw this beer the other night and grabbed it. I’m in the mood again for some nice stouts, and from the sound of it The Poet should hit the spot! Cheers!

I just sat down for some football with the grill warming up out side on this sunny crisp fall day and I am sipping one of these Poets and it is just fantastic. Best stout I’ve had in a while.
