Hobgoblin English Dark Ale

This I'd like to try, however it seems BevMo does not carry it.

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.
