Howdy all, welcome to small brew day and we are going to highlight what has easily become my favorite small/craft brew in the country: Southern Star. Located out of Conroe, TX this little brewery that is on that needs to be watched but I’m fearful they don’t really have much in the way of marketing or distribution at the moment (outside major population centers in Texas). Now going into this review I thought I had already let my dear audience know about this great brewery before now but, alas, I have been keeping all of y’all in the dark and for that, I apologize. So let’s get acquainted with one another shall we? Today’s brew is a nice American Stout known as Buried Hatchet Stout, a good strong black beer that is what a more recent “chocolate” stout should have been a few days ago. Hatchet pours strong, with a thick coca colored head that doesn’t dissipate for a while and allows the nose of chocolate and coffee to come out very well. The stout drinks silky smooth with a coffee front end and a chocolate and toffee mid tongue and back end. Notes of cream show up here and there in the sips and add to the silk like finish of the beer. A strong beer at 8.25% ABV this beer is a great fall or winter beer and for all you lovers of chocolate beer, this is one to try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. This is a beer that I will be happy to repurchase in the future.
