We discovered that our neighborhood taproom, Roscoe's, holds a stout summit each February. What a gem.
Highlights included the very well-balanced Suge Knight by Boneyard Brewing (Bend, OR) and the Chocolate Stout by Upright Brewing (Portland, OR). Hellshire III from Oakshire (Eugene, OR) was reminiscent of a chocolate fountain soda, in a comforting gone-back-to-childhood way.
The Italian sour stout, aptly named My Blueberry Nightmare Sour - tasted like vinegar - disgusting! North Coast's (California) Barrel-aged Old Rasputin XV was too sugary sweet for my blood although our neighbor is a big fan.
We walked home under a clear starry sky, bellies full of stout and eyes full of twinkles.
