Commercial Description:
Raised in an almost cruel state of total darkness, our Black Strap Stout delights in being the complete opposite of a light beer. This one has full-flavor, full-depth, full-life, and of course full-carb. See it brought squinting into the light for the very first time in your glass. The humane thing to do is finish the pint before the protective head burns off.

Draft at capones. Im a fan. Pours a black body white head. Sweet chocolate malt, burnt malt, roasty, maple, toffee, and a hint of etoh. Solid.

Sampled at the brewery during Growler Hours. Gorgeous charcoal black pour, rich, with a persistent head. One-note, but aggressive aroma of toasted/burnt malt. Medium-bodied, but not shy espresso and hamburger(!) flavor. Certainly not a boring brew. Recommended.

Sampled on tap at Growler Hours. Pours a really dark black with a small beige head. Nose of dark coffee and a bit of bitter chocolate. Lots of roasted malt. Has a great burnt coffee flavor. Balanced nicely with some caramel and chocolate flavors. Not a whole lot of body for the style, but a pretty tasty beer.

Sampled at East End. Poured pitch black with a small brown/tan head. Aroma is primarily of roasted coffee. Taste is of roasted coffee with semi sweet chocolate trying to come through. The roastyness of the coffee won the battle. The body was a little thin, but other than that quite nice.

Handbottle from AlexDeLarge. The body is pitch black with the faintest possible mahogany edge. A small, frothy, light chocolate colored head leaves behind rough, sticky cobweb lacing. The aroma is ultra-roasty, with big coffee and baker’s chocolate notes. Scorched caramel adds just a touch of sweetness to this mostly bitter, roasty brew. The flavor is even more roasty than the nose shows. Biting coffee attacks the back of the mouth, lingering for ages. Medium bodied and very smooth, the finish is sharp and warm. Ultimately too one-dimensional for me, this is a good brew for those who like ultra-roasty, charred type stouts.
