53/5.02.94/5.0-0English pint, Stem glass

Commercial Description:
A Robust, dark ale with a fairly full body, a coffee-like dryness from the use of roasted malts (as opposed to the roast barley character of stouts), a malty flavor, and a strong hop character that balances these other factors. Dark brown to black and medium to full-bodied. We use German Munich, Belgian Chocolate, English Caramel & Canadian Honey Malts. We also use German Magnum & English Fuggle hops.

caramel, roasty, coffee, nuts, smoke, Good porter, I’d like it to taste a little less watery, which is my biggest knock on all Gaslight beers, they all seem to be a slight step below what would make them very good beers body wise. However this is one of my favorites here

on nitro-pours a rich creamy retaining very light tan head with lots of lacing and jet black color. Aroma is mild dark malt, very mild earthy hops. Taste is dark malt-chocolate/roasty/faint coffee, sweet, caramel, faint/secondary hops. Mild carbonation.

Tap at the brewpub. Roasty and clean aroma. Palate is thin and watery. Roasty and malyness is evident. Slight sour finish.
