3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2009 Dark chocolate in the aroma with strong coffee mixed in. This is my first cask drawn poor. Pretty impressed. Extremely creamy head and body. Light sweet initial flavor with a slightly bitter finish. Average duration with a medium to full body. Creamy texture with soft carbonation.

Darker’n a black steer’s tookus on a moonless prairie night. There was no bottom. Maybe an inch or so of soft and foamy brown head. Pretty good ringlets of lace. Moderately sweet chocolate malt and some roasted grain in the aroma.
Flavors come through with lightly roasted grain (not harsh or overly bitter), a touch of sweet chocolate, and a medium-roast coffee. Nice blend of flavors, they seemed a perfect match for the smooth texture. Nothing overpowering, gently carbonated, medium bodied. Mellow, tasty, and satisfying.

Woooo, ol GW does it again. Had a couple of thesse last night. Nice malty flavor, great smell of coffee and coco, nice and thick and smooth, big foamy head too. Coupled with the fact that these were only 1.80 a pint during happy hour adds up to great things!

Opaque black in color with a thick creamy head. On tap, it’s a bit sweet in aroma and flavor with licorice, chocolate and roasted malt in equal parts. Much more rustic on cask with espresso, earth, and ash more dominant. Light to medium bodied with a reserved, dry mouthfeel.

Cask Tap in December 2005. Black in color with a brown head. A nice roasted malt, coffee, and slightly sweet aroma. Smooth with a touch of bitterness that leaves a long lasting roasted malt finish. Rating from notes.
