Well, up here the Alcatraz stout is an oatmeal, rather ill made: sickly and poorly carbonated with a weird, rotted berry aftertaste.

In Indy, this was a dry Irish stout. Roasty and dry. So so. Light hops. Enjoyable.

In Tempe (Phoenix) this is the Box Car Stout. It has an excellent strong scent with an equally strong taste of chocolate/coffee. A great stout for any dark connoisseur.

11/02 - growler from Michigan - Medium to thick body. Strong roasted and chocolate malt flavors. well hopped - dry finish. This is listed as a sweet stout, but seemed more like a dry stout to me. Very good

Re-Rate 03/25/02Now called ’Lights Out Stout’. Not sure what ’Hennes’ was drinking, also this is the Arizona Brewery. Deep dark brown, chocolate head, fair lace. Toasted grain nose, chocolate, caramel. Front slightly malt sweet, the middle light, the finish dry and fairly well hopped. Light carbonation, a lighter version of a ’Dry irish Stout’.
