3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Beaver (873) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - OCT 24, 2008
12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown / black with a thin brown head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is a bit subdued but nice - sweet grainy chocolate malts and some coffee.
The flavor is sweet lactic and nutty chocolate malts with some coffee notes. It has a roasted dry finish that balances the sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery and chalky.
Overall, a nice easy drinking stout.
