Beer of the Week

The beer: Parrots of the Caribbean Stout

Brewed by: Kings County Brewers Collective, Brooklyn, New York

Description (from the can): "Pours jet black in the glass with a mocha colored head. Notes of palm sugar, English toffee, black treacle. Medium body, dry finish. Approachable and balanced. Not all beer is gold, mate."

Would I buy it again? The taste is quite similar to a Guinness, but since it's not nitrogenized, I actually like it better. It's definitely on the drier side, but not too much so. This isn't exactly a beer for the middle of summer, but I still enjoyed drinking it. And it's about time I reviewed something that isn't a wheat beer. 

Plus, I love the name. You can always win me over with a good pun. I'm not sure I'll be able to find this again, but if I can and it's a more appropriate season, I'd definitely buy this again.
