@sfighter991 pencil shavings is just a descriptor! It a very nuanced stout… but I guess you'll have to try it to find out! Thanks, cheers!

Interesting, when you brought up the words "Pencil Shavings", it makes that beer sound a little bit unappetizing. I'm glad you gave an average score. If the beer just tasted like pencil shavings, it would've gotten a lower score. Good Review.
