Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Aug 26, 2005 On tap at the brewpub 8/26/05: Nice black hue, unfortunately served in a cold glass. A sweet tinge predominates with an almost raisin tone, but little to no java impressions. Drinkable enough, but this is no stout. Sledge Jr (2720), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Nov 13, 2004 On tap at the brewpub. A black ale with a big white head. Strange enormous carbonation bubbles cling to the sides of the glass. This beer has the carbonation of a Pepsi cola. Absolutely no aroma. How is this possible for a stout? Amazing! Roasted malt flavor, but light on the bittering hops. The flavor is not repulsive, but this is a very light-bodied stout. Very crisp and light for the style. In fact, none of the beers at this brewpub are what one would call representative of the style. I would say that they are representative of beers made by someone who does not know how to make beer.
