Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout:
Greetings one and all and let’s talk beer shall we?  Great!  So there are tons of beer types out there, fruit ales, hop and rye beers, oyster beers (sorry I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit there), bread beers, and even meat beers and while that is a great selection, what about a  beer made from the great sweet potato?  Well fret no more gentle readers because the good people at Lazy Magnolia Brewery and Chef Steve D’Angelo have answered our prayers and created a sweet potato stout named (drum roll) Jefferson Stout.  Man that was anticlimactic. The beer was poured from a tap with a very thin off white head that very quickly moves to the inner rim of the glass and it did not have much carbonation to accompany it’s oil black color but a subtle nose of malts and baked sweet potato.  The beer’s taste starts off with a mild hint of sweet potato and ramps up to a nice roasted malt mid tongue with a nice mellow alcohol after taste in the back-end and a malt back end with a slight touch of sweetness.  One thing to note that this stout was a nitro infused stout which means that it has a thicker head and, well, that’s about it.  Yeah, great marketing but not that special of a result.  This beer, however, is special and worth the hunt to find if you’re ever in the southern Louisiana or Mississippi area.  I wonder if the nutritional benefits from the sweet potato transfer over?  If so, this would be the world’s first nutritional beer.
