Hobgoblin English Dark Ale

[Snake Hips]

I'd like to get my hands on some of this, but "not as heavy as Guiness?" As light and weak as Guiness is (for a stout), I can't imagine this to have any body or much flavor to me. But I've heard it suggested before, so I need to check around I guess.

Tyler, take my comments as a guy who doesn't know much about stout beers. Give it a try. However bad my description is, it's a good beer.

Haven't had it in a while but I think I remember it as being decent. May have to pick up another bottle to remind myself.

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem blunt or hostile toward your description or your taste; I was just garnering some discussion. I'll definitely give it a try if I find it, as it has merit with a lot of people.

It definitely has more flavor and body than Guinness. It's not a big beer by any means, but there's some there. Remember, Guinness has a reputation for being a really heavy, thick beer among BMC drinkers, even though the stuff is more like black water.

I haven't had Hobgoblin for a while, but I don't know if it's roasty enough to be called a porter, let alone a stout. Maybe on the border between a porter and a brown ale? Either way, I'd say it's worth a shot.

Bought a six pack at Spec's when I was in Beaumont. It's good enough that I'm looking for a source in the New Orleans area.
