Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary - Fritz And Ken's Ale

A collaboration between Sierra Nevada and Anchor, two breweries I've been a little dismissive of (especially since moving to California). Since it's a stout, I'm hoping it's not a crazy hop bomb.

Classic roasty stout nose, a little coffee, a little chocolate. Nice and smooth mouthfeel, noticeable chocolate, light sweetness. Interestingly, there is some hop presence, but it's a light touch that doesn't clash.

I shouldn't have doubted - this is solidly made. Definitely recommended.
