Canned beer is the future, my friends. For too long, I decried it, saying it was fad that would never catch on. After all, any brewery that brews something good puts it behind glass, right? Well, no longer. There are many, many excellent brews in cans now, and that is something that cannot be written off.
Buried Hatchet Stout is a brew by
Southern Star Brewing Company in Conroe, TX. I have seen the can before, but prior to picking it up, I was in can denial, so I just ignored it. A stout in a can?! Only Guinness can do that. Well, after tasting the remarkable Ten Fidy, I decided it was high time to give Buried Hatchet a try.
Buried Hatchet is a double/imperial stout, so I was expecting it to pack a nice wallop. It poured midnight black, with a nice, frothy head. There is a bit of malt and alcohol on the nose, but it is not potent. The flavor is very peaty. Like, working in the garden-style earthy. There is a tinge of wateriness to it, but that lends to the drinkiblity. The malts are very smooth, but there is a nice little bite at the end. While not as potent as many other imperial stouts out there, Buried Hatchet is quite good, and a good example of a stout.
