Montana Brewing Custers Last Stout

Draft at brewpub. Black color with an average creamy head that mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate chocolate coffee aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium balanced sweet coffee flavor with a medium dark sweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Black and slightly rich on the palate with a fruit aroma. Some bitterness in a roast finish.

Creamy and lasting tan head tops the almost black body. Sweet chocolate and coffee nose has this fun toasted character that sets it apart a bit. Gains big points for its grapey and date-like fruit suggestions as well as mild smoky feel. Medium bodied, creamy texture, foamy carbonation. Floury, toasty and of restrained acidity and bitterness. Well weighted stout.

On tap @ pub: pretty light bodied for a stout; substantial roastiness and chocolate maltiness; lightly hopped with the balance mostly coming from the roasted malt; a note of dirty hops; another solid but boring one from MBC.

[At GABF 2004] A pitch black beer with a chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of chocolate as well as lesser notes of roasted malt. The flavor is lovely sweet and again with chocolate being most dominant. Hey - I want more of this.
