Midnight Sun Mammoth Extra Stout

Thanks to BrianK for sharing! Pours a nice deep dark black with a good lasting beige head. Aroma is at first spicy phenolic, with earth tones, then toffee, and big malts come through roast, black bitter malts, good chocolate and a nice fruity ester profile as it warms. Chocolate malt, with some oxidized paper hints as it warms, nutty, roast, lightcoffee, and a bitter black dark burnt malt character gets in the way of some of the smoother sweeter malts. Leather toffee and drying earthin the end. THis is an ok to good solid stout.

Big thanks to BrianK. Poured black with a tan head. Roasty malt aroma with sweet chocolate milk. The flavor also had a nice roast to it with some chocolate mixed in. No ash which I am happy to report. Lively CO2. Light to medium body.

Nothing not to like here. Easy drinker. Very smooth. Just how you would expect a straightforward stout to taste.

Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Creamy coffee and light roast, a bit stale in terms of the coffee character. A bit nutty with caramel accents. Nice brew overall.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Black colour, small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee cream. Flavour of roasted malts, cream and molasses. Ok stout.

Appearance: Pours a black body with a small, frothed, beige head. Smell: Dark malts with notes of creamy milk, chocolate, roast, dark caramel sauce.

A solid black appearance with a moderate tan head. The aroma is chocolate, cookies, and some coffee. The flavor contains some chocolate, oatmeal raisin cookies. The palate is a bit thin and the finish is sweet. Overall a decent stout.
