3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
10oz draft at the brewpub. I had this the year before and the most recent batch. Generally, this is a strong stout with lots of hops and roasted malts. It could be a bad mix but this beer makes it work. Its a good mix of aroma hops and allowing for the malt bitterness as opposed to hop bitterness. Sweet milky chocolate flavors work nicely in this beer. Well attenuated, allowing for the malts to provide the sweetness, which is accented by the plentiful hops. Its a nice treat.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a black color with tan head. Roasty, burnt, coffee, some bitterness. Hell yeah, nice big bodied stout.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Enjoyable aroma of roasty, dark malts, dark chocolate, leafy, fresh, piney hops, and some mild coffee toffee. Dark brown-black color, head is tan and foamy with plenty of lace. Flavor profile is likewise malty, roasty and hoppy as advertised, with plenty of dark chocolate sweetness, moderate bitterness and plenty of vibrant, leafy, fresh hop flavors coming through on the finish. Creamy and smooth on the palate with medium effervescence, dryish on the palate, body is not so full. Rather nice, I like a good hoppy Stout and this fits the bill.

Pours a deep almost black with a foamy deep tan head that left sticky lacing. Head looks like a milkshake! Aroma of roast, citrus, pine and coffee. Flavor of coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Dry and roasty with a heavy hop bitterness bite. Hop flavor is piney and grapefruit.
