3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Almost pitch black, hold this one up to the light and it shows some reddish brown highlights. Sporting a thick viscous tan head, the aroma is one dimensional, pouring forth thick burnt black coffee redolence. Starts thick and oily and fades quickly into a dry and charred malt finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brown pour with a creamy tan head and lace. Aroma of sour malt and a hint of coffee. Good coffee flavor with light chocolate and some roasted malt with a medium malt bitter. Thin and watery but good.

Pint at the brewpub. Pours near black with an almost white head. This seems to be a clean, straightforward delivery of a stout. The aroma is chocolatey and a little meaty. Slick palate. Flavor is meaty with lots of black chocolate and a dry finish. Typical dry stout, not bad.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Deep mahogany pour, with an eggshell head that leaves trace soapy lace. Roasted grains and coffee to the nose. Immediate dry-roasted coffee and grains, with some nice bittering to add in the lasting finish.... makes for a nice linear pull. Mouthfeel is medium to medium-thin. A nicely integrated offering, and one of the better samples from the brewery.
