Gotta be Utah. Was it near beer?
It's described as an English brown porter (5% ABV). Flavors and aromas of chocolate, coffee, caramel, toffee, bread, hops, dark fruits, and roasted malts. I didn't detect all those flavors.
It's good stuff. We stopped at Clark's Market in Blanding after leaving Hovenweep but they didn't have booze and it was too early for the liquor store (before noon). Instead of waiting we just hit the road and happened to see the Shirttail Store at a turnoff - so we stopped and I just had to buy this. The lower alcohol content was a nice break from all the stouts I'd been enjoying. The best ones I had were all bourbon barrel aged.
Lots of bourbon barrel stouts on our last trip. The two easily available ones were Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and Dragon's Milk.
Just about all the breweries are making bourbon barrel stouts too - they are all the rage these days. We stayed at a lot of breweries. I tasted some excellent stouts at the breweries and bought a few takeaways. Two were memorable. Crystal Lake Boathouse Reserve Imperial Stout from a liquor store in Wonder Lake ($25 for a 4-pack and aged in a rye whiskey barrel, 10.3% ABV) and Tri City Brewery's Dragon Slayer in Bay City Michigan (ABV was around 12% and only available as takeaway). Tri-City had stouts, Belgian's and some great ales. They had a cool menu board and I tried everything with a high ABV. Here is their current menu.

They invited us over for some high-class bourbon after we finished in the brewery (they had done the bourbon trail in KY and had quite the collection).
He said the company only makes 32 of these custom coaches a year. Evidently they make them mostly for rock stars and movie stars. He and his wife got to tour the ones made for Tom Cruise and Neil Young. It was quite the entertaining night!
The custom Harley on the back was worth far more than our rig!
Do they also make a Statutory Stout?
Answering that seems like risky business.
I could give you an old Kentucky saying but someone might get offended. It implies an answer to the question.
