North Coast Old No. 38 Stout

North Coast, of Rasputin Imperial fame.

Hmm.. pours pretty watery, with no head. Taste is a little watery too, not quite as full as it could be. At least the flavours are good - roasty, with slight choc, tannin waxiness, typical stout profile.

Not overly complicated or worldbending in a world of much competition but fine for a drinking stout. Don't know that I'll be knocking myself out for more North Coast though despite the typically glowing reviews elsewhere.  7.0
