Handwritten notes: This stout is one for the ages. It wraps around your brain like your old "blankie" and soothes you back into childhood oblivion. Speaking of Oblivion, I would rather be a Khajiit than an Imperial (for those of you who did not already know I am a loser, that last comment should seal the deal). Nevertheless, this stout is like the sweet blood of the Lord himself. Roasty with a "preserved" type of taste, but not in a bad way - like there may have been some wood-aging involved. Peace and love, my limey brethren.
