Light to medium watery body. Finish goes to acrid/ acidic black patent smackdown. A bit lackluster and unbalanced. Turning?

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the brewpub. Served in a large stemmed glass. Pours an opaque brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of faint smoke, roasted malts, molasses, and tobacco. Flavor of burnt toast, smoked beef, coffee, dark chocolate, and tobacco. Medium-bodied, with a dry, roasty mouthfeel and mellow carbonation. Surprisingly robust roastiness to the point of near-smokiness. Quite easily my favorite beer at The Gahan House. Nice stout.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ the brewery as part of a tasting tray. Opaque black with mahogany highlights and a creamy beige head that looks nitro to me. Nice roasty aroma, notes of coffee and ash.roasty flavours along with coffee and bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel is lighter than I expected.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Gahan House brewpub, PEI. Pours out a dark brown topped with a tan head. Aroma was of roast malts, coffee, light milk chocolate sweetness, and some molasses. Taste was mostly the coffee and roast malts with some of the sweetness hanging on.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught @ Gahan House, Charlottetown, PE: A pitch black pour, nice nitro-like tan head. Lots of roasty malts in the aroma, some sweet molasses. Flavour is lots of molasses, sourness, anise, espresso and chocolate. All of it a bit watery but it’s a pretty good beer from a mostly questionable brewery.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thanks to Al and Paul of Railway Spike Brewery for having this growler freshly brought in. Clear sweet coffee aroma. A medium brown, the lightest stout I have seen. A bit oflace. Lightly carbnated.Its cold coffee in a bottle, an not the best coffee taste. Average mouthfeel. A few sips and that’s good enough for me.
3.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 20/20

This beer definitely stale. I believe it would have been quite nice if it was not.
