Arcadia Starboard Stout

Bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is subtle but rich - chocolate, coffee, toasted grain. Flavor is complex and rewarding - toasted (almost burnt) grain, coffee, chocolate, a bit of hoppiness. VERY well balanced. Smooth and complex from start to finish. Chewy and rich on the tongue. Great stuff!!

12oz via trade, with who? Pours black with a big puffy tan head. Nose is sweet too bitter. Taste is sweet but overly bittered.

Bottle. Pours black with a moderate light tan head . lots of coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Watery mouthfeel with lots of roasted malt,some chocolate,and burnt coffee, notes, and I get a slight alcohol, finish. A nice offering.

One of the most underrated stouts. Smells like of course a malty wheat. Pours pitch black with a thick tan head that lasts and lasts. It tastes of bread coffee and a fine cigar this taste lingers for a good long time. I generaly buy singles but I buy a 6 pack at a time with this one. If you dont try this your selling yourself short.

Underrated. I’ve said it a thousand times before, but solid, traditional stouts are being overlooked due to the rise of imperial and double stouts, and people have developed an incredibly narrow and warped perception of what a stout is or should be. This one pours a deep black with a medium tan head. Aroma is somewhat faint, chocolate dominates with undertones of cherry and light tobacco. Flavor starts faint, but grows into a large burned toast/chocolate peak, tapering off to lighter chocolate notes, mild dark fruit, smoke, and a slightly earthy/grassy finish. Somewhat thin mouthfeel, though not unforgivably so. Good effort, good session beer. Please raters, lets stop comparing everything to Dark Lord.
