Lakefront Snake Chaser Irish Stout

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Dry Stout
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

From the bottle, courtesy of Secret Santa, pours black with a thick foamy tan head. Smells like a Guinness, and coffee/espresso, rather appealing. Taste is sour, maybe sour apples, a bit of maltiness. Smooth and clean finishing. Not too high on the flavor, but not a bad beer overall.

Bottle. Pours black with a two finger tan head. Aroma of light coffee, roasted malts notes of chocolate and some sourness. Flavor is sour with roasted malts, coffee, light chocolate and slightly metallic. probably infected

Bottle. Poured an opaque brown color with a light brown head. Smelled of dark chocolate, light roast, and whiffs of tobacco and sassafras. Medium bodied and dry. I tasted cocoa, roasted malt, and a bit of adhesive tape.

Pours a dark black that allows some light with a thin tan head. the nose is fruity, mild coffee character, some molasses, phenolic, char. The flavor is roasty, some coffee and bitter chocolate, molasses, a tad grainy.

Bottle shared by Bill at recent tasting. Thanks!
Pours a dark brown to black color with a light tan head. Smell is moderately smoky, roasty and sweet. Taste is pretty mild, but with a roasty tartness and didn’t come across too much like a stout, though. BIt thin, and medium carbonation. Not great, or to style, but drinkable.

Pours black, brownish/beige head. Aroma is roasted, cofee, light notes of dark fruits. Taste was a little weak. Part of the beer remidned me of the Fuel Cafe that also had a weak finish. Cofee roastiness floral taste, fruity and lightly hoppy, chocolat malts. Decent dry stout.

Crushed with Jakebra at the brewery. Mouthfeel is the big compliment for this beer. Otherwise, it’s kinda lacking in all other aspects. Let down.

Bottle born during the 3rd week of January. Pours very, very dark brown with no real head at all. The aroma is dry with earth and black chocolate. Some lactic sourness is also detected. Mouthfeel is par for the dry stout course. Again, we’ve got dark chocolate and some earth in the body. A fair level of lactic sourness is present from start to finish and that just undoes the whole thing for me. I can slow sip this one to get through the glass while I grill, but I probably won’t be coming back to this one.
