\"\"<\/a>If you’ve been around here long enough, then you’ll know that I love the dark beers.\u00a0 I love them a ridiculous amount and I tend to stay away from lighter beers.\u00a0 IPAs are my Nemesis.<\/p>\n

Recently while I was having a meeting with a twitter friend, Scott was off purchasing some beers and other necessities.\u00a0 He came back with several beers, some favorites and some new ones.<\/p>\n

This Buried Hatchet Stout<\/a> was a new one and I was skeptical.<\/p>\n

I’m not a huge beer from a can girl.\u00a0 Yes it sounds snotty but cans of beer just seem so cheap.\u00a0 And yes I realize that even cheap beer can come in bottles (You know who you are!) but still, the stigma is there.<\/p>\n

Even though Monk’s Blood<\/a>, which is a great beer that also comes in a can, has taken my fears down a notch, they are still there.<\/p>\n

Scott bought this beer for me and I wasn’t even the first one to drink it, he was. One night when I was still getting over my cold, he popped open a can and plopped down on the couch.<\/p>\n

Well, you can’t just bring a new beer around me and expect me not to try it.\u00a0 So I did.\u00a0 Gave it a short sniff and then a wee sip.<\/p>\n

“Wow that beer is awesome.”\u00a0 I believe was my statement but I was sick so perhaps my senses were off?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Weeks later, it was my turn to pop open a can and plop down on the couch. I was in the mood for a beer and decided this would be a good time to give Buried Hatchet a full tasting.<\/p>\n

This beer knocked my socks off.\u00a0 It has a great stout feel as you pour the beer and see the thicker black brew fill up the glass.\u00a0 It’s got a great caramel colored head that sticks around just as long as it should.<\/p>\n

Coffee and chocolate aromas you smell right away and they make you want to instantly take a drink.\u00a0 The coffee stands out more and smells like it was just freshly ground.<\/p>\n

The best part about this beer is that the coffee flavor sticks with you and lingers on your tongue for a while. It goes away just as you’re about to take your next sip.<\/p>\n

Buried Hatchet has a complexity to it that I haven’t tasted in a stout for quite some time. It reminds me a bit of New Holland’s Cabin Fever<\/a>.\u00a0 Though Buried Hatchet is more coffee and less toffee flavor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I am in love with this stout and the bonus is that it is available year round! Hooray! The sad part is that it only comes in four-packs.\u00a0 This is a beer that you’ll savor as you sip away.<\/p>\n

If you like stouts, I highly recommend you look for some Buried Hatchet<\/a> at your favorite brew retailer.<\/p>\n

Ours was purchased at The Anderson’s<\/a> in Dublin off of Sawmill.<\/p>\n
