Impressive dry stout. Nice roasty chocolatey flavor with hints of soy sauce. Nice dry finish.

GABF 2011. Listed as "Moonlight Irish Stout". Black with a small frothy tan head. Aroma of dark roasted chocolate grains, and a nose of typical dry dark stout. Flavor of the same. Dry, dark black and chocolate malts. Too-mild sweetness, too burnt, and bland.

(Draught) Pours a black body with a medium tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, ash tray, smoke, and burnt grains. Flavor of roasted malt, ash tray, chocolate, and burnt plastic with a dry finish.

Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a dark brown with a small frothy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing. The aroma is roasted malt and smoke. Thin mouthfeel with light roast coffee and a nice smoked dry finish. A good dry stout from CBC.

My favourite of the Circle brews .. . Pours a dark robust brown, decent foam .. . light tar and chocolate, with a great dose of roast .. . has a decent mouth to it, you could say its made for the texas heat .. . Is it a yes or a no, because you’re kind of holding up traffic here. It’s just - it’s rude.

Dark beer with an icy, creamy appearance and a small tan head. Roasty malt aromas. Powdery palate. Dry roasted malt flavor. Slightly creamy. Light cocoa finish. Really anice brew that’s quite enjoyable.

Pint glass at the brewery- served a solid pitch blackcolor even when held in the sunshine, one finger dark tan head held through the majority of the tasting with solid lacing. Aroma of a burnt malt with some hops roaming around in the background. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, malt is thick and tastes burnt to me, middle has a note of sweetness, finish is somewhat drying but lingers for a considerable amount of time. Good one.
