3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Black, frothy brown head. Aroma of dark roasted malts, cream, marshmallow, hazelnut. Taste is much the same, lots of sweet creamy caramel and a little bit of roast. Pretty solid but a little too sweet for me.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle into English pint. Pours coal black with some faint reddish-brown tints at the bottom of the glass when held up to the light. Not much head here. Leaves some creamy lacework. Has an awesome English aroma, a la Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout; smells of cinnamon raisin bread, baked apples, toasted marshmallows. Taste starts out sweet and then turns sour. Carbonation is soft, mouthfeel is creamy, body is medium. A very nice stout.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at The Taphouse, pours black with small head. Aroma of sweet malt, oat and some cocoa. Body is smooth and creamy, with flavours of oat, and hardly sweet - a lot less than the aroma suggests. Solid one.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle pours motor oil black with a nice creamy dark tan head. Aroma is smooth, with loads of cocoa, toasted almonds, and rolled oats. Flavor is mostly matching, with caramel sweetness up front fading through a touch of coffee and finishing a bit smoky. Oatmeal silkiness present throughout...another good Alaskan brew!
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very dark, not quite black brown with a thick and creamy tan head. Aroma is coffee, roast, nuttiness. Tastes and feels a little less rich than it smells, with chocolate, coffee, roast, very light ash, and a weird, slightly rancid oat/nutty flavor that is rather unpalatable. Feels oddly watery after the initial sip. I didn’t have an easy time finishing the bottle.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, from Spokane, WA. Black, beige head. Aroma of chocolate and caramel. Mid sweet with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Mildly flavourful with chocolate and coffee being prominent. Fairly low bitternes. A high quality every day stout.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle. Pours deep dark black with a thick and frothy dark tan head. The lacing is great and so are the legs. A well carbonated beer that tastes of chocolate (dark and bitter), licorice, minimal soy sauce, roasted malt, roasted oat, and light hops. I really like this beer as a cheap stout. Mouthfeel is thick and moderately chewy.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark pour from bottle. Taste is coffee and mild chocolate. Mild alcohol finish. Very nice to drink when you are not in the mood for one of the many higher abv stouts.
