Gritty McDuffs Black Fly Stout

Very dark brown. Nutty, cocoa-ish aroma. Palate is dryish, with notes of almonds, cocoa and cherry lozenges. It works ok.

(12oz bottle, best before 6/05) Big beige head atop a brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, nutty, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, chocolate, very light coffee and caramel. Finish has mild herbal bitterness. Light-medium body with light acidity.

Dark, nearly opaque brownish black with a thin, light tan head. Aroma is slightly roasted and burnt with a touch of dark chocolate. Mildly sweet body has a touch too much CO2 with a thin, dry, bitter dark chocolate finish. A decent stout, but could use a little more body.

12oz bottle. Bottle marked best before May ’06 (and I just bought it). Poured a dark, dark brown color with a huge, huge tan head. Aromas of strong roast, chocolate and light coffee. Tastes of roast, chocolate, with a bitter coffee / espresso finish. Thinner body.
