3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub: Kind of lacking any real flavor except for a bitter flavor. I was expecting a thick feeling liquidl, what I recieved was a thin watery feel. Overall the brew pub is a nice visit in downtown Madison, but don’t expect a great beer.

Pint at Downtown Madison brew pub New Years. Dark dark pour with dark khaki head. Full bodied. poured on co2. Big roasted flavor, decent chocolate flavor, big roastiness. Solid flavor.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A dry stout yet not too drying, enjoyed on tap at the downtown brewpub. 4.35% abv. Looks great, dark and creamy. But the coffee gound tastes made it only so-so drinkable as not compelex. Could be better on tap
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On nitro tap at the brewpub in Wausau, WI. Very dark brown pour with a large retentive nitro creamy head. Sweet and roasty on the nose. Full bodied palate, smooth, and not too heavy. Taste was mild chocolate, roast, and a touch of hops poking through.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the downtown location in Madison. Notes only. Dry roasted malts. Very dry. Better than Guinness, not that that’s saying much.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This is your typical dry stout. It is watery, creamy, and lightly roasty, not too exciting.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
coffee, earthy, alcohol, black, brown foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, oily feel, creamy, average carbonation, bitter finish, a good stout similar to Guiness but more alcoholy in taste, a bit brighter in flavor, and creamier yet not as soft on the palate. A good beer overall.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at brewpub, pours a fizzy dark brown, almost resembles pop, the aroma is of dark malt with a hint of chocolate, the mouthfeel is very thin with a light coffee bean flavor, glad I only tried this one once.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Great Dane Downtown Madison, WI. Pours black with a thin, foamy khaki head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is chocolate and coffee as well but is a bit thin for my taste. This is an obvious Guinness clone but gets more right than Guinness in my opinion. Very good for what it is even if it tastes a bit watered down.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Great Dane Downtown. Pours black with crimson at the edges and a tan head. Nose is toasty and crisp with fresh spicy hops in the background. On taste, light bodied and somewhat bland. Light accrid notes and a touch of toffee. Clean bitterness. Okay, but nothing going on.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
The appearance is right on for the style but I would’ve preferred a denser head. There were roast malts and coffee in the nose but it wasn’t a powerful smell, I really had to get personal with it to smell it. As for the taste it was creamy and had coffee and dark chocolate notes. the mouth feel was smooth but a little too watery. The wateriness takes away from the drinkability
