Boulder Beer Obovoid Empirical Stout

Pours a dark brown color with a thin beige head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, oak and chocolate. Good flavor of oak, roasted malt and chocolate. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Good, but forgettable.

Sampled on draft. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma od chocolate, roast, coffee, and oak. The flavor is sweet, chocolate, roast, coffee, and oak. Decent body, was missing maybe a little more of a hoppy presence.

black with a persistent tan head. chocolate and coffee flavors with some sweet spice. deep nutty aroma. lots of carbonation.

Bottle: IMO this is better out of the bottle. Pours a rich deep brown/black with a generous foamy head. Smells delicious, like roasted coffee, chocolate malts, and some scalded milk. Great mouthfeel, rich flavor of burnt coffee, dark chocolate, maybe some vanilla. A little sweet, but very tasty.

One of the most heavily roasted malt flavors I have had in a beer. Simply put this is a very good beer, although I wouldn’t consider it a stout or "emperical stout" as they call it. I feel this is more of a porter. It is thin on the palate but leaves a nice aftertaste (more than I expected!) Not many flavors here, but it is well balanced.

Bottle. Pours a pretty deep, dark brown with a generous tan head. Aroma is deeply roasted malts, coffee and some bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is roasted malts, bitter coffee, some caramel. Good mouthfeel. Tasty and very drinkable.

Pours black with a minor head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and coffee. Flavor is very malty with some vanilla, caramel, and chocolate flavors. Generally good beer.
