Odeed (1480), Bakersfield, California, USA Apr 2, 2008 (sampled at the ba alesmith release)i get mostly roasted malts and chocolate.has a nice clean dry finish.VERY nice session stout.
BBB63 (3795), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 26, 2008 Bottle and served in no-nik pint glass: Near opaque with a fading frothy head and okay lacing. The aroma is very roasty with a hint of grassy noble hops, fig cookies, hint of coffee and truffle. The taste is a straight forward blend of kilned malt and classic EKG bitterness. There is a soft milk chocolate sweetness and some chalky peated notes upon the finish. Simple and to the point, a solid drinking Stout... nothing wrong with that. SuperDave70 (723), Arizona, USA Aug 21, 2008 Pours a black color with brown highlights and a thick creamy tan head that laces nicely. Aroma of roasted grain, malt, coffee and dark dried fruit. Lightly sweet flavor with hints of dark roasted caramel malt, roasted grain, chocolate and coffee. Creamy on the palate. Long, slightly bitter, dry finish. Not bad at all! RAYBOY01 (1622), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 18, 2008 Very nice version of the style, which is not one of my favorites, but I still enjoyed this beer. Big roasty flavors...nuts, chocolate, coffee, dark roasted grain, caramel, molasses, and a nice medium dry finish. hellbilly (852), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Aug 18, 2008 pours a fairly opaque brown shade of black topped by a cafe au lait colored head. it’s pretty fluffy and leaves behind some trails of lace. roasted grain heavy aroma has notes of lightly charred wood, molasses, lactose, floral qualities and some weak brewed coffee. the flavor is also rich and grainy... molasses (without the sweetness), toasted nuts, burnt dark dried fruits and a tart finish akin to baker’s cocoa. coffee-like aftertaste has a nice acidity (though this is probably from the high CO2). medium to full body. creamy abundant carbonation. great for drinking a lot of... SDalkoholic (1021), Chula Vista, California, USA Aug 12, 2008 22 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. A deep roasted malt nose that smells rich and creamy and a perfect example of how my memory would the aroma of a stout. Appears as a pitch black liquid with a small forming of foam for a head. The flavor is tad bit bland and simple but in general it still holds a decent amount of burnt dark malt and a hint of Irish cream or hazelnut in the finish.
