Not being a mad keen stout drinker, I was more than impressed when offered one of these. Consistently good brew that sneaks up on you after 8 or 10 pots.... One of the jewels in the Cascade Brewery crown.

Poured an opague black colour with a thin beige head that dissapated quickly. Initail aroma of burnt barley that quickly went to a chocloate f;avour. First taste was of burnt barley but this was quickly replaces but a subtle chocolate flavour. Medium to full bodied with a smooth and slightly sweet finish. Not a full on flavoured stout but quite nice.

Fairly dark in colour with a skim of mocha head that seems to be slowly dissipating. Good chocolate and slightly roasty aromas are apparent. Lightish body and a flavour that trends toward burnt caramels with lovely sherbet-like mouthfeel. This is a bit of a dark horse in the stout world. When you think of Cascade you think as a larger brewer it’ll skimp on the flavour, but this is patently not the case. While this beer isn’t the most complicated stout I will ever drink, it is eminently sessionable and has a good spicy orange finish. Reasonable price and a tasty drop which I shall be returning to time and again (and I love stout). Well done.

Lighter style of stout. Subtle coffee notes and very little mouth feel make this an easy drinking beer.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2011 Bottle. Pours Black with decent tan head and lace. Aromas of Coffee bean, milk, mocha, tar, grassy and floral hop notes and a decent choc roasty note. Med body complex malt profile, generous carbonation - med-high. Decent hop flavor, balanced with a toasty note and malty body finishing up a touch light.

Pours black with almost no head. Big roasty aroma with coffee and also some oatmeal shown. Similarly roasty, grainy flavours, with a hint of rum-like booze in there. Pretty full on. Could us more carbonation and a thicker body.

From a 375ml bottle on 30/5/2011. Pours a very dark brown/black, with a head full of big bubbles. Has a modest aroma of coffee and chocolate. In the mouth, it starts out quite sweet and chocolatey and finishes with some roasted malt notes and a mild bitterness. The body is quite thin and watery. An unremarkable stout which just scrapes through with a pass mark.

bottle drank from a tulip... dark brown with a light tan head, the head rises and stays at two fingers for awhile, but its very ugly big bubbles a watery... the aroma is roasted chocolate, fresh cocoa powder notes, a touch of alcohol and a bit generic, but decent... the semi nice things that were present on the nose do not show through on the taste, very light in taste and mouthfeel, watery, a little coffee only a hint of roast... not a fan

dark brown and clear smells like dark malt thin/med body and slightly fizzy malty, dry dark chocolate taste nice enought but just a session ale

[375ml bottle courtesy of benji/sevare @cgarvieuk] Black stout pour with the standard tan-coloured head. Dark, roasty aromas with some dark chocolate on the nose. Very drinkable session stout, decent bitter roasty finish [28012010]

Bottle @ tasting cgarvieuk. Black colour, off-white head. Aroma has roasted malts, bit of chocolate, bit dusty. Flavour is slighty roasted, hint of chocolate. Slight watery finish.
