2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
[March 13, 2009]
Pint at the brewery. Pours near black. oh man, a whiff warns me of super sweetness to follow. I mean, the aroma is pure caramel, which I found weird for a stout. The flavor has a bit of chocolate hints, but mostly pure caramel and vanilla syrup hits my tongue. A pint of this stuff is brutally sweet. I couldn’t finish the glass. This is one of the sweetest, if not THE sweetest, stout I have ever drunk. I would recommend this to someone who drinks a lot of soda and eats a lot of candy. This just isn’t for me.

Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich with roast and lightly sweet chocolate and light coffee. There is also a cream, lactose-like sweetness as well. Maybe a bit too sweat at times. Taste starts with decent roast and some woodsy bark. But then all of a sudden BAM! coffee just hits you halfway through. Its a ground espresso bean coffee flavor. Some of that lactose/cream sweetness as well.
Sampler @ brewpub.
