tall boy: pint glass: pours like coffee, leaving .5 finger of tan head. The nose is faint but some raosted malts ia availble. The taste is present but not strong, again roasted notes, some coffee, a slight sweetness. The body itself however is thin and almost watery.. nothing here stands out. Important to note however, is this beer, despite its weakness, is very characteristic for its style. For that it rates well, I would personally like to sample an out of the ordinary stout to be honest...

seymour (608) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Tasted from nitro-can into standard pint glass. Poured a very dark reddish-brown color with some chill haze and thick, creamy beige head, somewhat lasting with lace. Aromas of grain, bread, roasted barley and some fruity ale yeast esters. Flavors of fresh black bread, toast, black coffee and dark chocolate, a little caramel, nuts, molasses, some apricots, plums and sour cherries. Medium body. Round, roasty mouthfeel. Dry but not harsh or astringent. Very smooth, fruity aftertaste. Delicious.

Comparable to Guinness. Had this in Dublin. Smooth , creamy and easy to drink. No carbonation. Mild and dark with a burnt hoppy taste . Good stuff.
