Now THIS is my kind of beer. Thick and full of flavor. You can smell what you're in store for right after the pour. The label reads:
"Dominion Oak Barrel Stout raises the bar for American stouts. Our method of dry-hopping with vanilla beans & oak chips broadens out stouts flavor spectrum even further."
This truly lives up to the beerish descriptors of "liquid bread" or "meal in a bottle". I would recommend this beer to anyone that likes a good coffee-like or chocolate-like beer. This is, thankfully, NOT a thin beer.

"Natty Boh" is a local Baltimore legend. It is also absolute crap. Cold, warm, it doesn't matter... You know you're not drinking a tasty brew. You're drinking this beer fast, because you want results beyond taste. This beer is also available in brown bottles.
Strangely, I have certainly drank my fair share of this beer. What can I say, but "I was young, and poor." I'm sure I'll see it again in the future. It is nice for hikes in the woods and other rough outdoors activities, mostly due to portability and price.
