jahughey (65), Franklin, Indiana, USA Sep 15, 2005 Nice balance between drinkability and full flavor. Roasty, bready, clean malt nose. Rich, roasted flavor, hints of toffee and, pardon the rhyme, coffee. Drinkable at the same time. VASTLY superior to the diet porter.
heemer77 (3955), Savannah, Missouri, USA Apr 19, 2008 On cask at the brewpub. The body was black with a nice khaki head. The aroma was coffee and soybeans. There was also some nice toast. The taste was coffee with some milk chocolate and pancakes. A solid stout, but a little pedestrian. SpudClampDawg (974), Jasper, Indiana, USA Aug 21, 2005 Served a bit cold, but really came to life as it warmed. Rich roasted and coffee character throughout. Slightly sweet middle and somewhat dry finish. Solid example. atpayne (615), Zionsville, Indiana, USA Jan 23, 2005 Updated: Nov 17, 2005From a growler filled two hours earlier, by John Hill, owner of the Broad Ripple Brew Pub. Opaque with a tan head. Coffee and chocolate malts. Strong robust aroma. Coffed flavor with a small amount of chocolate flavor. Nice robust clean feel and roasted flavor. Nice likeable beer. <b>11/15/2005 at the pub- Nitro push</b> Nitro push gave it a wonderfully tight creamy head. It looked was a text book representation of what a stout looks like. The aroma was nice, but the flavor is really what got me this time. Great roasted malt flavors. Very smooth, creamy, and eveny milkey. Chalkey malt and chocolate are left behind on the palate. It’s slightly hopped and all eventually smooths into a nice roasted full finish. (changed my rating this time) Lubiere (3524), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 14, 2004 Tap at the BR, called Wobbly Bob Stout. July 30. Deep black stout with no head. Light roasted malt aroma. Rather watery stout with too much lactic notes. Some hops in finis but not much else.
