2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
22 oz. into pint glass. Oatmeal nose. Strange taste I can’t quite pin down, but it’s not pleasant. A lot of chalkiness. Absurdly low ABV. Watery, heavily carbed. Okay, so now I know why this was 5 bucks for a bomber. Also, WTF is "Gritty McDuffs?" That sounds like a Simpsons parody.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Liquide brun opaque qui s’agrémente d’une mousse éphémère; elle ne forme qu’un mince voile clairsemé. Des arômes de torréfaction en émanent avec un quelque chose de suret. Un goût de grains grillés, de toasts brûlées qu’on aurait trempées dans un café. Belle amertume. Petits picotements dans la gorge, avec des traces acidulées. Sensation mince en bouche, tout en étant ayant une texture veloutée. D’un point de vue analytique, c’est ordinaire, mais plaisant à déguster. (Merci Gilles!) (462-191112)
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at brewpub, pours a dark black with a nice big creamy head that leaves nice lace. Smell is of chocolate coffee. Taste of roasted and chocolate malts with a very dry finish. Great Maine stout!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/19/12
Aroma: The nose has some roasted notes, light coffee/chocolate, and a little tobacco
Appearance: A dark brown color with a couple inches of thick, foamy, lasting brown head and heavy lace
Flavor: Tastes roasty and malty up-front, but there’s something dry and off that overwhelms the finish
Palate: The body is smooth and creamy, a little watery, with a soft carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression:
Overall, this was a pretty mediocre beer. The nose is fine, unoffensive, and a little dull, but fine, The pour is the highlight here for sure, the flavor (particularly the finish) is the low light, and the body is fine, but again, kind of dull. Not for me...
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
22 ounce bottle. Pours opague black with a rocky tan head. Rich roasted malt aroma hints at charcoal and coffee. Dryish roasted malt flavor with a slight bittersweet chocolate character. Rather thin bodied with a mildly sour lactose malt midtaste. Finish is bitter and short-lived.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
22 oz bomber from Spirits Rt 9 shared at the golf outing. Poured a dark brown with a foamy brown average size head. Aroma is chalky with a strong nod to black olives, dry hot chocolate mix and olive oil. Full body with fuller fizzy carbonation and an average duration on the aftertaste. The flavor is better than the aroma, notes of light chocolate, dark toast, hint of dark cherry all on the drier side. Meh, it’s okay.

On tap at The Wharf. Pours black with a thick off white head. Sweet malty aroma. Lots of roast, chocolate, and molasses flavors with a nice dry bitter finish. Well balanced. This may be my favorite stout and I enjoy all Gritty’s products.
