savnac (1365) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - MAY 16, 2009
On tap @ the brewery. Dark roasted grain aroma with chocolate and caramel notes. Dark brown almost black with a medium long lasting light brown head. The flavor is sweet with a bitterness derived from the chocolate, you also get just a tiny sour flavor from the yeast. Smooth mouth feel from this medium bodied beer, a bit watery. This is a solid stout the chocolate adds a richness and a nice mild bitterness.

[1946-20090116] 22floz bottle. Chocolate kiddie plastic balls aroma with some baked chicken breasts. Black body with a long-lasting creamy dark brown head. Thick chocolatey roast malt flavour has mild leafy notes, a long roast finish and a mild coffee aftertaste. Full thick body. Solid, hardly boozy, good.
