This one is very different than the other flavors. It's dark, a little roasty, and fairly heavy on the molasses flavor. I enjoy it for a change, but if you don't really like molasses you may not care for it. Probably could dial back the molasses a bit, increase the roasted grain flavors and it would be a bit more balanced.

First, let me say that I love Hoplark. I’m always stocked up on The Really Really Hoppy 0.0 and rotate several others into the mix periodically. I also enjoy trying many of the limited editions. For reference, I recently tried Guinness 0.0 and it’s fantastic so I thought I’d give Hoplark’s Stout a try. It’s not for me. It’s not even close to a stout. I don’t quite know how to describe it, but I’ve tried drinking it twice now and it’s just not pleasing to my palate. I think maybe the sweet molasses flavor is too pronounced. Hopefully I can find someone who wants to try it because I hate to toss it.
