The Miller’s Toll is one of the best stouts we’ve ever reviewed. The ABV of this effort is high, but the density of flavors that exist here in this imperial oatmeal stout means that any sort of alcohol sharpness is hidden masterfully. The beer pours with a dark brown to nearly blackish color with a fair amount of dark-brown/tannish head that gradually dissipates. Nutty and coffee-heavy notes are immediately present,…
Surrender is a track that succeeds based on Carolyn Marie’s desire to blend together disparate styles.

What’s your story? How’d you fall into rap? To pretty summarize everything, I was really was into poetry growing up as a kid.

Ragana Baltic Porter by Southern Prohibition Brewing (Hattiesburg, MS) is a limited-time effort pouring with a dark brown and nearly blackish coloration and a fair amount of off-white head that gradually dissipates.

Wait & See has a nice echo that adds considerably to the fullness of the composition, while Watching Over Me (feat. MC Wailer) is our favorite track on the release.
