Best Stout I ever drank was at the Haines Brewery in Haines, AK. Did you have it warm (traditional) or chilled? I have been chastised because I prefer it cooled a bit. I ran a small club decades ago and used to have a husband and wife who came in on Sundays. I used to keep Sam Smiths in the basement outside the cooler for them. He drank Taddy Porter, and she drank Old Pale ale... They would buy me one each week and I would sneak it into a mug cut in half with a cheap American Lager...  |
