Beershine (1440), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 18, 2008 At Brewpub. Nitro pour. Black with off-white head. Aroma of coffee, cocoa, vanilla. Really roasty with a creamy nitro mouthfeel. Shame about the nitro because it kills a lot of the roastiness that is obviously there but it’s still smooth and solid and quaffable and retains its gentle licorice sweetness. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Aug 10, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A simple and surprisingly hoppy session stout.
I like:
Pleasant chocolatey roastiness. Dry flavour profile growing a certain hazelnut skin tang. Milky, gently lactic acidity yet feeling clean all along.
I dislike:
Highly carbonated for a stout, giving it a light metallic touch. Not particularly complex nor memorable.
hopson (499), Williamsville, New York, USA Jul 21, 2008 nitro at brewery. creamy and fine, with some decent and muted roasted coffee/chocolate flavors. This beer is not as nice as the coffee porter, and its very hard not to compare the two. The flavors here are not as profound or memorable, and the porter is your best bet. gilvanblight (341), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Jul 20, 2008 Opaque black pour iwth a foamy tan head. Nice thick head at that. Bready thick taste, lots of roasted flavours (roasted nuts, roasted caramel, etc). Very dry finish. A good stout, but I’m not a huge fan of stouts. Quevillon (1323), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Jul 15, 2008 Bu sur place en fut (12 oz), le 12/7/08. Brune ruby extra foncée, moyen collet. Arome de réglisse chocolaté, un peu cafiné. Goût de café amère, un peu de chocolat sucré, arrièr goût amère. Un autre stout sec agréable!
