4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - MAR 29, 2009
On tap at Baileys. Black body with a tall khaki head with a slight olive colored hue to it. Big roasted malt nose with a soft wet smokiness to it. Really well built beer, the smokiness just compliments the roasted malts perfectly, not overwhelming, but adds a great layer of depth to the beer. This beer finishes very smooth with lingering coffee notes into the finish. Excellent.

On tap @ Bailey’s Taproom. Black color with a thin dark tan head. Nice balance of roast and chocolate on the aroma, very robust, clean, graham cracker. Great taste – roasty up front and moves back to an earthy finish. Just a well-executed straight-up stout, impressed with this one.
