3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
It’s decent, very watery in feel and earthy in taste, without much fire to back it up. The malts are kind of harsh, I like smooth stouts a lot more. Pretty good beer for the price though.

BB JUN 2013
Appearance: Pours a very dark brown, near black body with a foamy, sandy brown head that settles out at a steady pace.
Smell: Roasted malts with a light scent of coffee, a little chocolate, too, and oven-roasted nuts. The hops mingle with the maltiness in the aroma to give a slight touch of Captain Black tobacco.
Taste: Malts notes of cola flavors, bittersweet chocolate, charred nuts, some dark caramel, roasted malt. Medium-low sweetness. English hops provide a little herbal bite and sufficient bitterness. A little hint of smokiness and some fruitiness comes out upon warming. Drying, herbal, nutty, mildly roasty finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
Overall: Not bad! I’m actually happy have a readily available dry stout in bottles that isn’t nitrogen infused.

A beautiful dark dark red color. Off white head, mild carbonation. A accurate representation of the style.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nice brownish red body with a tan head that was fairly thick at first but then faded to a thin coating. Some lace. Aroma seemed to have a nice roasted malt base upfront and some nice subtle malt notes of chocolate and coffee. A slightly mild smoke presence in the back. Flavor was nice and well balanced roasted malts up front seemed nice. While the flavor was good it really did not wow me. I was expecting a little more strength of the roasted malts and it was moderately dry.

12oz bottle - pours dark brown with tan head and decent lacing. Nose is roasted malts and coffee. Flavor adds dark chocolate and hints of vanilla. medium body. Moderate bitterness. Easy to drink, kind of too easy. Was hoping for more from the brewer. quasi-metallic aftertaste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a dark, dark brown/black with a light head. Nose is wonderful -- coffee, wood, a coppery overtone (which, in this case, works). Very dry and dark on the front of the palate, but finishes clean and lighter; this is no imperial stout, rather, it’s true to the style. Has some substance to the palate despite its 4.7%. Magnificent.
