3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ryecatcher (351) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 5, 2013
Bottle (well earned after shoveling snow in Chicago and then listening to the radio feed of the Rangers- Flyers online... LGR!!). Pours a deep chestnut-blackish ’stouty’ color, (nearly) opaque with a thin off-white head that lasted longer than I expected, not much lacing though. Nose is roasty, some chocolate, raisins hint of smoke. Mouth is medium bodied and slightly watery for a stout (body is more like a porter IMO), but dry and satisfyingly roasty, with some coffee and malts with some soot and a slight bitterness back end. Sessionable.

Bottle. Very dark brown pour with some red highlights. Minimal head. Roasted malts and ash in this. Easy drinking. Moderate palate. Slightly dry on the finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Scrapersnbeer (980) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Bottled at 4.7% abv. Aroma of smokey chocolate and coffee with cream. Near-black color, looks on the thin side. Bites like a dry wine, bitter start with roasted malt aftertaste. Reminds me of craft root beers only in stout form.

Dang...second yucky beer of the night. Smell like urine. Tastes like dirty socks. Pretty sure this beer was inspired by a men’s college dorm or a gas station bathroom.

UPDATED: APR 12, 2013 12oz bottle into English pint glass. Dark brown color with tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is the aroma with more semi-sweet chocolate note, ashy smoke, a little metallic and a dry bitter earthy hop finish. Light body, creamy, crisp, tart and a little astringent. Overall a pretty good dry stout.
