wcampbell (437), Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 Good flavor, a little weak and not as creamy as expected. Roasted malt and bitter coffee taste, slightly dry. Some hops in the finish, but very briefly. Highly drinkable, but a little too light bodied for a stout. I am not too excited about the bittersweet charcoal flavor in this one. mattwix (6), Arizona, USA does not count Oct 8, 2008 Did Lost Coast just take a really great keg of stout and add a gallon of water to it? Need I say...watered down flavor, but decent I guess. It doesn’t even have strong aromas. At least it doesn’t ’look’ watered down :-) Taverner (482), San Ramon, California, USA Oct 8, 2008 Pretty damn good stout. Sweet - as the name would suggest. Think chocolate and charcoal - this one has notes of both. Creamy texture, foamy head - pours black with beige head. Nose is chocolate and carbon. Lots of sugaryness in the flavor. Definitely has a slight flavor of smoke in the background. alexsdad06 (666), Ohio, USA Oct 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a dark brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is roasted malts, coffee, semi sweet chocolate and a touch of molasses. The flavor is heavy on the roasted malts, coffee, and semi sweet chocolate. It is not as sweet as I might expect with it being in this category, but isjust a very solid stout. It does have a certain creaminess to it in the beginning, but has a drier satisfying finish with a hint of bitterness. Medium to full bodied and easy to drink. With the lighter ABV, this could almost qualify as a session beer. Juelze (702), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours a deep rich brown with thin white head. Aroma is of rich chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Taste is deep chocolate, coffee, notes of dark fruit. Light carboation and full bodied, this is an excellent stout.
