Kelp Stout - Tofino Brewing Company

The only type of beer that I like are stouts. Not just any stout but a low alcohol hearty stout, between 4 and 6% alcohol. Guinness has always been my go to stout but I recently saw this one in a local establishment. The Kelp Stout from the Tofino Brewing Company.
At 6% its on the high end of what I like but its very flavorful and smooth. Almost a refined taste. The side of the bottle has the following paragraph:

If there's one sentiment that's constantly repeated among craft beer drinkers it is "This beer is good but it needs more seaweed!" If we've heard it once, we've heard it a thousand times. Well folks, message received. Tofno Brewing Company presents to you the Kelp Stout. A dark, rich, "full-bodied ale brewed with locally harvested kelp, giving a unique umami-type quality to this complex beer.

I agree and would buy this again.
