3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Hy-Vee poured into english pint - Pours almost black with a very slight hint of ruby and a one finger brown head; A little chocolate, roasted barley, and plenty of coffee to the nose; Mostly roast and coffee on the initial taste with some burnt chocolate; Lightly bitter roast and sweet malt aftertaste; Medium-full body; Too much carbonation; Yep...it’s a stout. Not too complex, but a stout that’s worth trying!

Not much light gets through this black murk. I was very surprised how smooth this beer was. A Boulevard Rep. gave me a six of these and I may start to like stouts. The only stout I have tried before is Guiness (stout), and I like this better. It was very rich and carmely.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
certainly not my favorite stout, not even middle of the road. pretty plain with some nutty what not in there. pretty simple flavors all around...a miller lite drinkers beer
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
dark brown with thick foamy tan head. the aroma holds scents of oatmeal, chocolate malt, and cashew and almond. the flavor is lots of oatmeal, almond, walnuts, and milk chocolate. creamy mouthfeel with slight carbonation. a pretty good stout.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Black. Typical nitro faux head.
Not much on the nose. Touch of coffee, bit of malt.
Nasty nitro mouthfeel makes tasting much of anything difficult, as there’s not a lot of raw materials to work with here. Quite light, with only the slightest hint of malt, and a bit of finishing bitterness.
Creamy, drying nitro mouthfeel. Seems really artificial and confected. Not a fan. Drinkable, but barely.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured to a deep dark brown with tan head that lingered for half the glass, and left okay lacing. Pleasant aroma, though muted, of chocolate, nuts and toffee, with taste following along the same lines. The body was thin and slightly watery, and the 4.9% ABV never did make itself known. Not a bad beer, but I’ve definitely had better stouts.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. bottle. Not a bad stout, but a bit lacking in lasting flavor. I’m used to a little more head and a roasted flavor, this lacked both.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
At Tap: Sampled at Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill - Hayes, Kansas. Light bodied, lightly roasty stout with a watery, dry finish. Mild coffee note and a clean, simple finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours dark opaque brown with mahogany highlights. Thin cinnamon colored head. Smells lightly of sweet roasted malt, light sweet spice?
The first thing you notice is that the mouth is very carbonated, overly so. Masks the flavor. Some lightly roasty dark malt. Kind of limp and watery, no creaminess or driness in this dry stout. Lackluster overall.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 ounce bottle brought to me by Grant from Kansas. Aroma isnt overly aggressive. It does have some roasted burnt malts in the nose. Some light grapefruity hops are also there. Lightly transparent dark mahogany color with a smallish khaki colored head.Light roasted maltiness to start. Light chocolate notes in the middle. Becomes thin with some light light hop bitterness in the end. Very thin and pretty boring.
