Close Encounter Hopped Up Stout

This is as advertised, a hopped up stout. Very much like a black IPA, bitter, hoppy, but with a burnt tar thick kinda stout feel on the aftertaste. That's the only thing stouty about this. Otherwise, the hoppy flavor and bitterness dominates. Not a bad brew, but make sure you're not craving a traditional stout, cause this beast is a different breed! ID
