      <![CDATA[As described elsewhere, Session Black seems to be a porter or stout without the massive malt bill in the recipe.  The stubby form factor, I think, is an interesting novelty, but doesn't add or detract from the beer itself.<br>
<br>
There are brews out there that offer alternatives to hops as a bittering/flavoring agent, though they generally include something that serves the same purpose (eg heather). Are there any craft brews out there that skip that component altogether?  If not, it would be interesting (and perhaps a complete waste of malt and yeast) to brew a batch that was only malt, water, and yeast.  What does a beer taste without the bittering/flavoring ingredient?<br>
<br>
I hope the answer isn't Zima.
