Amsterdam Two-Fisted (Irish) Stout

On tap at brewery. Pours dark brown, cappucino coloured head. Smooth mouthfeel. Aroma of chocolately roasted malt, ditto on flavour. Pretty decent stout!

On draft at Nota Bene (Toronto, ON). Pours a chocolate brown with massive two finger tan head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, toffee, ripe dark fruit, some hints of brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, light roast, brown sugar, some light caramel and spice. Generally medium body with a malty finish.

Had this on tap at Borealis in Guelph. Pours a dark mahogany with a beige slightly sticky nitro head. Aroma is light espresso, chocolate, tap water, hint of burnt malt. Flavour is a reflection of the aroma, espresso upfront, sweet chocolate in the middle, dry coffee bean finish. The palate is thin feeling on the tongue, slightly watery, interesting dry lingering finish though. Everything is very muted from the nitro sadly, otherwise this would be a top notch beer, still pretty good though, better than I was expecting from Amsterdam Brewing.

Draught at Smokeless Joe, Toronto. Smells dark, roasted, with chocolate. The Mouthfeel is light and thin. There’s not a lot of flavour, some roasted coffee and chocolate.

draft at kalendar in TO- nitro- nice enough. Nothing too fancy. More in your face roasted/bitterness and chocolate notes than I was expecting- these definintely added to the beer. Would go to again.

Black w/ creamy beige head. Nice chocolate & coffee nose. Smooth but thin for style and everso slightly watery. Coffee & chocolate dominate flavour which was not overly complex. Did pick up some nuts.

Tap - Jesters - Toronto: Jet black, tiny head, very little aroma, but what was there was a weak hint of chocolate. Very faint flavour also, malt and coffee, not bad however I expected more.

[628-20070917] Nitro-Tap @ C’est What (Toronto, ON). Brewery floor yeast aroma with some faint chocolate malt. Black dark red body with a long-lasting thick creamy light tan head and thick creamy lacing. Rich coffee malt flavour with creamy dark chocolate base and a chocolate aftertaste. Creamy medium body is all from the nitro. Very nice but mild stout.
