acrdz (4248), Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2008 Draft @ the brewery. Dark brown, nearly black, with a tan/off-white colored foamy head. Terrible nose of soy milk, lactic acid, and old, stale coffee. Unbelievably thin and watery, the cold, spoiled coffee notes are there again, along with a stale chocolate soy milk flavor throughout. A few sips and we were done with this one. Epic fail. grandet (306), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 24, 2007 Draft. Creamy white head. smooth and very drinkable, like a guniess. Im my opinion the best I have had from them so far. Would def have again argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA Oct 9, 2007 (draft, nitro?) Creamy tan head with cola-dark brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee/roast. Taste is medium sweet, coffee/roast, light burnt. Watery light-medium body with minimal carbonation. Phatz (225), Paradise, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 2, 2006 This is a very typical Stout. It had some Irish stout dryness and not much of the hop character of some American Stouts. Overall I found it to be mostly average but extremely drinkable. I would suggest this a substitute for a regular Guinness drinker but other than that is a decent Stout with no bells and whistles.
Appearance: Served dark opaque black with a tan head and had mediocre lacing.
Smell: Typical Stout aroma. Largely clean in the nose with subtle hints of burnt malts and very little sweetness.
Taste: It seemed to be a bit lacking in depth but the dry roastiness was pleasant. This is an easy approachable stout that is a bit watery through the center with a nice dry finish.
Mouthfeel: A bit thin but it stayed solid enough all the way through to the end where it has about the feel of water.
Drinkability: If you are a stout drinker, (I am) you will likely find this beer to drink like water. The feature of this beer is certainly it’s drinkability.
Hope this is helpful.
