"Big Bear, as the name implies, is a hefty black stout. This stout boasts a rich, caramel sweetness lavished by a robust deep roasted heartiness you can really sink your teeth into..." The label also includes the following Brewmaster notes: "Drink responsibly. Don't get mauled. Be on the lookout for other rare species of the specialty ales from the Bear Republic. Cheers!" This brew has won a number of gold medals, has 55 IBUs, and is 8.1% ABV.
Overall average rating: 5.2/10
This beer pours an opaque, black color with a caramel colored head. The aroma gives off a citrus hop as well as another kind (the website says they use Centennial and Cascade hops). There is also a slight malt essence and a thick sweetness, perhaps molasses. We taste the molasses and citrus hop flavors, and there is a lot of all over tongue bite. Although it is hoppy, this beer is a more rich stout with the hoppy richness lingering.
Shawn: Why does California like hops so much?
Chirs: Because they have the room to grown 'em!
Shawn- This is a very average stout, and a little too hoppy for me, 5/10.Angela- It isn't a bad beer, but it's hoppy for me. It's not something I personally would seek out, 5/10.
Chris- This beer is not very memorable except that it has a richer flavor. I feel it has more ptential that actualy flavor, however, 5.5/10.
