Great Lakes Blackout Stout

Plenty of coffee, chocolate and malts in the aroma, color is dark and pours with a light head... Taste has plenty of chocolate, coffee, smoke and malts and a good punch of alcohol.

Bottle. Espresso black with a fine tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, cocoa, almonds, smoke, coffee, alcohol, bananas, faint hops. Really rich flavor, but leavs something to be desired. Slightly acrid and astringent, but very smooth despite. Good alcohol in the finish, with nice lingering bitterness. I was expecting more of a monster... but this is definitely a great beer.

pours a beautiful black color, head slowly dissapears and laces the glass nicely as I sip. burnt malty aroma with a hint of acidity. Full rich roasted flavor and a strong warm alcohol finish. Fantastic!

HOLEE MUTHER OF GAD. This is the good stuff. Very thick, syrupy, with Hershey’s syrup dominating but also with roasted notes and some hop bitterness and alcohol to keep it rounded. Highly smooth and drinkable.

This brew surprised me. I’m a big fan of stouts, but this brew proposed a new level of complexity. a stunning black pour and body, this brew will please you stout lovers, and perhaps even exceed your standards of a "good stout"! I know it did for me!

This is a great solid stout but for me a little one-dimensional - it hit me as a malt bomb, just fairly sweet yet no defined layers of flavor, for me anyhow.

Bottle from & memory of a nice pint of this on Draft @ Capone’s. Nice blackish pour with a med-large tan head. Big roasty, toasty malt aroma with a heavy dose of coffee and some dark chocolate in the nose. Taste is a pleasant, slightly creamy, toasty malt batch of goodness. Just a bit creamy & a nice amount of coffee as well. Very drinkable & quite good!

Bottle. Thanks to SB. Pours a clack color with a tan head. Roasted malty coffee aroma. Roasted bitter malty flavor with hoppy hints and hints of chocolate and coffee aswell. Roasted malty chocolate finish with a long bitter aftertaste.
