Commercial Description:
Black Hawk Stout retains the big traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout and yet offers a refreshing dry crispness that is rare in many dark beers. "Bottle Conditioned" Black Hawk Stout is replete with a rich, roasted malt flavor that makes this not-so-heavy stout, creamy and ever so smooth. It has a subtlety that surprises and converts even the most reticent stout drinker.

Bottle: dark brown pour, very small tanish brown head, quickly dissapates. Smells of medium roasted malt and coffe. Not much on the palate. A decent coffe flavor but acidic after taste.

Pours next to black with a tall lasting head. Moderately roasted aromas. Medium full nectar with a silky texture and minimal effers. It’s a mild stout and easy to put down. The roast is mellow and has defined flavors of roasted coffee bean. The finish is dry.

From a sampler pack. A good representation of a basic stout. Has a decent head with a pleasant malty aroma. The taste has all the elements of a good stout but is just a little watery. This is the best beer from the sampler and makes me want to try some of their better beers.

Bottled: Thanks JTiki for the rate! Pours a dark color with a fine tan lacing, looks a little like coca cola. Tastes a bit burnt with malts. Ok beer!
