Ernest (4250), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jul 24, 2006 Draught at the brewery.
Body is dark brown.
Aroma is moderately malty (cereal, roasted grain, chocolate), with a note of candy sugar.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly husky.
Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation.
Nice mouthfeel, but suffers from the same dogfood-like vege-cereal malt character that so many of their beers have been having in the last year or two. One dimensional sugary sweet character otherwise. ratman197 (2360), Arvada, Colorado, USA Feb 25, 2007 On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear brown with a lasting amber head. Aromas of chocolate, carmel and hints of coffee and vanilla. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of milk chocolate, carmel and vanilla with a smooth lightly sweet finish. Walt (2287), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 15, 2006 Pour is dark brownish black with thin off white head...smell is roasty with hints of cocoa and coffee...slightly roasty flavor and very sweet...effervescent mouthfeel.... bb (2168), Martinez, California, USA Oct 17, 2006 Draft. Blackish beer with a nice off-white head. Sweet malt and yeast aroma. Yeasty, chocolate and sweet malt flavor with very light fruitiness and some oatmeal that comes on stronger as you drink more. Lingering chocolate and yeast. medium bodied. Bockyhorsey (2033), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 13, 2006 Tap @ Papago. Mild roasted and grain aroma. Dark body with a good head. Flavor was not what I expected for a stout. Slighty watered down with some medium burnt roated taste. More like a a porter than a stout to me. Smooth and easy on the palate.
