desurfer (1023), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA Apr 23, 2008 Draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours an oily black with a rich, cascading mocha head. Flavor is moderately sweet, with a mild roastiness and some light hops to balance it out. Palate is smooth and creamy. Definitely a nice quaffer for a hot Florida day.
redlight (1026), Winter Park, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2008 On tap @ Oldsmar Tap House. Roasty aromas, hints of coffee and burnt chocolate. Pours cloudy tan and settles into a dark black with a very densy and thick tan head. Very smooth flavors, roasted barley, coffee, burnt chocolates with a good bitterness. It has a great mouthfeel, very thick. markwise (195), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 20, 2008 On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. It pours a dark brownish/ black color with a small head. It is strong on coffee weak on chocolate flavor. It was too hoppy and unbalanced for me. thejon375 (79), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 15, 2008 Nice dark stout. Dark brow color hints of coffee and chocolate on the palate. Nice beer for a cold day served slightly chilled 1FastSTi (2330), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Jun 10, 2008 Tap at the brewery. Pours to a really dark black body with dark red hues around the edges. A long lasting densely packed creamy tan head sits on top. The aroma is a strong dry coffee bean and typical Irish stout aromas. The flavor is really good for a 4.8% beer. Rich cold extract coffee meets that astringent black malt. Some light walnuts. The palate is really drying and leaves you wanting a glass of water. Slick texture. Medium body up front but light and airy on the finish. Mac_An_Ultaigh (44), Tampa, Florida, USA May 24, 2008 CO2 draught: Murky dark brown, off-white lace. No nose! Flavor is coffee and grocery store brand chocolate ice cream. Dry and delicious. More hops than some other stouts I’ve had, and the CO2 was a little rough. No problem finding the bitter chalky finish that I was looking for. Overall this one was original enough have another soon.
