Lakefront Snake Chaser Irish Stout

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

Bottled. An almost pitch black beer with a faint red shine under a lacing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of coffee. The flavor is sweet roasted combined with notes of cocoa, leading to a dry end with light notes of coffee. The body is a bit thin.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours completely black and opaque with a handsome, tall, dense light brown head leaving some lacework. Tart but also burned aroma. Rather thin in body with very burned, ashy malt notes. The finish is dry. Not bad. 080707

From 12 oz bottle. Pours black with a huge creamy light brown head. Thick malty and liqourice aroma. Smoked flavour with a rather thin body. Smoked, dry and slight sour finish.

(12oz bottle, bottled 3rd week, Feb.) Small and creamy beige head that mostly dissipates, atop brown-black body. Aroma is moderately sweet, molasses, coffee, some chocolate syrup, roast. Taste evidences infection, as the sourness overwhelms the hint of chocolate left behind -- I seriously consider my 2/10 score for flavor to be an act of charity. Bummer.

Bottle. Black colour with a medium brown head. The aroma is of vanilla, chocolate and roasted malt. The taste is roasted, vanilla and chocolate, a bit sweet. Medium body with a light dry finish.

Very dark brown, nearly black in color with a thin tan head. Aroma is almost purely cheap black coffee when its cold, but warms to unveil a little roasty malt character. Body is somewhat thin and very dry with a bitter burnt coffee finish. Too much burnt flavor here and not enough malty thickness or balance.

Bottled. Very dark brown coloured. with a rather creamy head. Loads of cocoa powder in the aroma. Sweet cocoa and chocolate flavour. Notes of vanilla and dark fruits. Rather dry and short finish. Light to medium bodied.
