Mission Brewery Dark Seas Stout (Yob)

Yob's latest album Atma made many Best of the Year Lists for 2011.
It was definitely in my top 5. 
They recently opened for Tool on the East Coast,
and are playing a free Profound Lore Showcase show on March 31st in Pomona. 
 

Label says 11% but that is for the eventual bottled version.
The current batch on tap is 9.5%
More importantly, they also have four Jack Daniels Barrels full of Dark Seas.

Mission Brewery is located in DownTown San Diego
in the old Wonder Bread Factory
The factory is located on 14th and L.
Pretty easy to find if you know how to spell and count.
I wonder what they made that bread out of....air, and marshmallows?

Plastic Cup, Bummer.
Dark and Tasty.
Sweet roasted malt smell.
Rich roasted chocolatey malt taste.
Seriously sweet and very dark roasted coffee flavor.
Chocolate flavors mostly on the sweeter side.
Subdued hop presence will turn off a lot of West Coast Hop Heads.
