anders37 (2819), Malmö, Sweden Oct 1, 2008 Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a black color with a creamy tan head. Roasted malty aroma with some hints of chocolate. Smooth roasted malty chocolate flavor with some weak hints of coffee. Has a smooth roasted malty finish with some hints of chocoalte in the aftertaste. Enniskillen (1620), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Sep 2, 2008 Black with a tan head. Aroma is lightly roasty with cream, and chocolate. Taste is Roasty, with coffee, and cream. BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Aug 3, 2008 Pours a very creamy dark black, with a bit of a sour milk chocolate nose. Light bodied and really creamy, could use a little more oomph for my personal tastes, but the flavors that are here are nicely done. Chocolate and roasted coffee, and a very dry, bitter finish. riversideAK (1755), Shoreline, Washington, USA Jul 28, 2008 Nitro tap. Dark brown pour with a thin creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts and a touch of tartness and bitter chocolate. Interesting. Dry and roasty with a nice sour/tart quality that leaves the mouth insanely dry. This is very nice. Light and incredibly smooth. The beer that I had sounds a little different then the ones that others had, as it was not run of the mill at all. jhanske (18), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 14, 2007 Nitro Tap, Old Towne, Ballard. No need to compare this to Guiness. Get over it! Guiness is a macro beer. And a light beer at that. It’s not some sort of hand crafted jewel. Thats where this stout comes in. It is a hand crafted jewel. This stout stands on its own merits. If this were available on a regular basis at the pubs I frequent I would order it at least 50% of the time. Quit the "Guiness Light" statements and get down to brass tacks. This is a great stout.
