Bottle @ jbrus’s place. Strong aroma of chocolate, cardemom and coffee. Creamy, velvety flavor with coffee, milk chocolate. Lacks some body in the finish, but a quite likeable dry stout.

22oz from markgugs - thanks, Mark! A nice looking beer, dark with ruby glints. Initially quite an active head but it dies down quickly - not before giving out an appetizing aroma of chocolate malts. Hefty and satisfying, with a deep flavor (not especially complex) and a long lasting finish. Very nice dry stout, hope to try it again.

Wow, this beer reminds me of a really good porter. Very dark and malty with a big helping of roasted malt and a little cocoa, this beer is a smooth drinker. Fairly creamy for a dry stout as well. Thicker than a porter, but thinner than an Impy. Really good little brew here.

2/02/2008: Cadillac Mountain Stout has a thick and creamy mocha-colored head that sits on top of the very dark brown-colored beer like whipped cream. The aroma is slightly dry and contains a nice blend of semi-sweet chocoate, weak coffee, roasted malt, and even a touch fo char. The flavor has a fairly rich blend of caramelized and roasted malt with some dark fruit in the background. The finish is more dry than the main flavor and has just a touch of bitterness and a nice roasted malt/mocha (more coffee-ish though) flavor. The body is medium-full and creamy and goes down really smoothly. This is a fine example of a Dry Stout at an excellent price (only $3.99+tx)!

1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle (Brew #01935) from porterhouse. Thanks Kevin. Rating #190 for this beer...

Thanks to mkgrenwel fot the bottle. Dark brown pour with a medium head. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit (prunes and figs) and dark malt. A little chocolate in the taste, but oh so dry. Medium-heavy body. Finishes dry with a little bitter hops.

22oz bottle, courtesy of zathrus13. Thanks, Jeff! Pours a very dark, cherry cola color; khaki colored head with great retention and lacing, coating the glass. Pleasant amounts of cocoa and nougat in the aroma; plenty of chocolate. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of milk chocolate, cocoa, and nougat upfront; a fair amount of sweetness; minimal hop bitterness surrounding the whole thing, but a reasonably tasty maltiness. Lengthy, milk chocolate and cocoa in the finish; a bit chalky.

Provided by kmweaver. Dark brown body with a small beige head. The nose is fairly dry bakers chocolate with some light dark fruits and light molasses. The flavor is lightly sweet with caramel, chocolate and raisins. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Decent.
