Brewed by Liberty Steakhouse & Brewery
Style: Dry Stout
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina USA

Serve in English pint

On tap at Tbonz in N. Myrtle Beach. Sable pour, thick light brown head. Looks beautiful! Thick lacing. Burnt malt and coffee nose. Body is just short of water. Coffee flavors prevade, some sweet maltiness below. Baking chocolate notes. Medium bitter finish. I’m torn - good flavor, but a poor body.

Very smooth palate, with a deep brown pour and aromas of chocoff and figs. Tastes roasty malty, with a dry coffee finish.

On a Nitro tap @ Liberty 3/12/05: Black w/ a lasting Guinnessesk type of beige head, very creamy. Roasty & chocolatey up front and slightly nutty aromas up front and throughout. Also a bit burnt malt aroma. No fruitiness, no hops. Well balanced & roasty up front; slightly tasteful. Roasty w/a neutral malt flavored finish throughout. Finish is semi dry and has a roasty coffee aftertaste. Lighter body, smooth m/f w/ a low carbonation. Not a very impressive STOUT, but might make a very tasty brown porter minus some of the burnt characteristics.
