Slow Elk, Oatmeal Stout

I may live in one of the best beer towns in the world, but my beer-heart belongs in Missoula, Montana. Big Sky Brewing Company is hands down my favorite brewery, mainly because their beer is the golden nectar that shaped my fermented palette when I first started drinking, at… ahem, 21. Slow Elk is a different stout. The coffee and chocolate tastes are here, but it’s somewhat weak for a stout. Almost in between Moose Drool and a true stout, it’s a nice change-up for the season. Keep in mind though, like most Big Sky beers, you’ll either love it or hate it.
