Church Brew Blast Furnace Stout

Growler courtesy of lukin013. Pours brown with a creamy tan head. Smells nutty with some underlying chocolate. Tastes nutty with a nicely balanced amount ofroastiness. A bit on the watery side, but otherwise an above average stout with an herbal semi-sweet finish.

Excellent stout, almost black in color, creamy dark tan head that left very nice lacing around the glass, nose full of roasted grain, bread & toffee, very smooth & drinkable, creamy body with flavors of toasted malt, coffee & dark chocolate, creamy finish as well, very delicious

Dark brown body, creamy nitro tan head. Slightly roasty winey merlot-like taste. Some chocolate for sweetness. Chocolate is roasty. Okay... interesting with the tanniny wine in there.

Growler, from brewpub, 03/10/07. Pours a flat black colored body under a thin large bubbled brown head that faded quickly. Aroma is very roasty with lots of coffee, some licorice, and a little burnt malt. Flavor is dry nutty and roasted malt with the coffee and licorice coming out on the dry lightly bitter finish. The hops have a pretty substantial impact througout but still just an accent to the malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly oily with light soft carbonation. This was a pretty decent Stout. Nice and roasty without being watery at any point. Not a chore to drink a whole growler of this one.

On tap at CBW, dark black color, a creamy tan-colored head, leaving laces, black roasted malt nose, with a burnt toast note, faint bitter dark chocolate, dark coffee beans roastiness, molasses, with a vanilla-mochaish spiciness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a roasty malty character, with a faint mochaish note, hint of dark coffee beans roastiness, dark chocolatey accent, leading towards a malt roastiness, and a floral hop bitterness finish.
