The beers that come out of Weston never get the best of ratings, in fact no alcohol that the small town produces ever gets reviewed to highly (i.e. McCormick), but how I love going to O'Malley's and having a few of the locally brewed beers.
A couple of months ago when I was there I had a sampler and out of the six beers I tried this Prototype Stout really stuck out. It was creamy and had a very strong chocolate taste that would rival Young's stout. I decided to take home a couple of pints which was labeled with a very cool industrial feel label (as seen below)

When poured from the pint bottle the malt and chocolate really caught the nose, but a bit of a metallic sent was mixed in, perhaps from a bottle disinfectant. The Stout was a pure black with a large tan head which left a good lacing.
The taste was not quite as chocolaty from the bottle. The hops really take over the tastebuds along with the roasted grains, but the chocolate came in for a long-lasting aftertaste.
Overall a fairly smooth stout which is hard to pass up when pitted against the rest of the Weston line-up.
