jcwattsrugger (3757), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 20, 2006 on tap-pours a thick creamy tan head with black color. Aroma is dark malt-some coffee/chocolate, roasty. Taste is dark malt-coffee/chocolate, roasty, faint hops bite. Starts medium body, finishes thin. Mild carbonation. Dorwart (1593), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Aug 1, 2004 (Cask) Light brown, dense head. Fine and creamy with low carbonation. Color is a cloudy dark reddish brown. Aroma of cinnamon and sugar, roasted grains and malts. Rich flavor with dark chocolate, and coffee. Finish is dry, bitter and roasty with a little coffee aftertaste. Probiere (992), Iowa, USA Jul 27, 2004 Oak aged, cask. Smells oaky and burnt, also toffee. This is so very much a stout and not a porter. Big and oily up front, dry and thinner beneath, toasty, anise, figs. Velvety mouthfeel despite the thin body. This is *such* a dry stout. . .and it’s one I dig. willblake (1919), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Jul 24, 2004 07.23.04 Hand pump, cask, at BP. Black, though thin looking. Small tan head. Some coffee in aroma. A bit dry, finishes with a hint of coffee. August says he uses the Bitting house brew in this beer. Very nice, though thinner than I expected. I guess that has to do with the cask/pump serving? mkobes (2015), New York, USA Jul 24, 2004 On cask at brewpub. Nice and smooth. Deep dark brown in color with a ncie fluffy head. Full bodied. Roasty. Chocolatety. Malty. Enjoyable.
