Our Impression: This year's Storyteller is a wondrous bakery stout, brewed with vanilla, coconut, and chocolate in the form of both dark chocolate powder and cocoa nibs.  A bakery stout is a sweet, hefty dessert stout brewed with items you'd typically find in the bakery.  While this version is sweet, it's not quite as sweet as the typical variant, since we omitted the lactose (for various reasons).  The end product is a balanced and dangerous stout with a big sweet body.  In terms of approachability, this is a far cry from the ultra roasty and intense imperial stouts that many have come across.  This is an elegant and delightful beer that both beer lovers and non-beer lovers should try.  Always remember to drink this one responsibly, she's a big one!
