Small, Dark, And Handsome

American Session Stout By Phillip Rusher

We all love big, dark, and roasty beers. We also like being able to walk in a straight line and hold a decent conversation after having more than 8oz of one!
Longing for something that is similar in flavor to an imperial stout but without all the booze, this beer is a low ABV version of his favorite imperial stout recipes.
