Great review! By any chance, do you have access to Belhaven Scottish Stout there? I'm not sure if that's exclusively an export or not. I know I have not seen the "Black" here in Texas, but we definitely have the Scottish Stout. It tastes pretty much like you described, but with a higher alcohol content and probably a bit more flavor. Also, from what you described, the Scottish Stout also probably has a more full-bodied mouthfeel.

I've always considered it the "milk" of beers. It isn't overly flavorful, but it has an enjoyable flavor nonetheless and is simply creamy and enjoyable. As you felt about this one, the Scottish Stout is one that I could drink on a regular basis with no issues, and tastes great cold or at room temp.

At any rate, great review and thanks for introducing us to new brews!
