Beer Tasting: Stout

Last weekend, we took a break from wines to do beers. We chose stout, sometimes interchanged with porter. We had Irish, oatmeal, imperial and chocolate. No one was able to meet my request to find a milk stout or an oyster stout.  Because it was a night of pretty much just frozen pizzas, mashed potatoes deep fried into smiley faces, a few tequila cocktails, Alien, and Walk Hard, we didn’t stick to our rigid whole-number-only rating system.  Instead, we only remember that Trader Joe’s has an AMAZING double (or was it triple?) chocolate stout, and that Guinness in a can was the least favorite. But it was beer, so it was drinkable.
