Our Impression: Our philosophy on brewing Storyteller relies on balance.  The roasted character melds with the malt body, creating a smooth transition from chocolate-espresso to sweet toasted malt.  The alcoholic character is warming and present.  For the first time since its introduction, Storyteller has been brewed with a lager strain and traditionally cold aged for months.  The result is a more elegant and smooth stout with more fresh malt character intact.  Storyteller has become a beer that all of our guests look forward to every year, as it only comes around once a year! Cheers.
