4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A good drier stout. Pressed roast coffee flavors really come through nicely. A good warmer on a winter day.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours black with a thin amount of tan head. Sweet coffee and chocolate odor. Sweet cappuccino taste that fades into a syrupy aftertaste. Interesting, I thought it’d be a bit darker tasting.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A lighter stout than advertised, yet extremely tasty. Pours to a fluffy head that takes its time to subside. Coffee is there lightly in the aroma and on the dry finish. In between the malts take over for a bit of sweetness. Another solid New Glarus bier.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle; Pour is murky brown with a hint of amber ; a fine bubbled khaki head here -modest, retaining poorly, light lacing present here. The nose is roast, coffee, chocolate morsels, but I found it muted. the flavor profile provides a light bodied brew, with a nice balance as is typical, but this is a fairly boring brew from New Glarus, but again, not unexpected. The sweetness shines, modest hop presence here, with more chocolate morsel, roast, very light coffee bean, and a hint of cream.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tastes more like a porter than a stout. It’s not a terrible beer but nothing fantastic.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Couleur rouge sang très sombre avec un bon collet. Beaucoup de sucre en bouche, cerise, cassonade, caramel. Le café peine à sortir du lot, un peu lourd pour sa grosseur.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from trade. Pours deep brown with a one finger kahki head that recedes quickly. Earthy coffe and roasty malt aroma with some hop presence. Flavor is lots of coffee and roasty smokey goodness. Really easy drinking and relatively high carbonation. Dry finish and a bit of bite at the end. Good stuff. A stout you could drink all day, but not sure I would put it in the "Sweet Stout" category like it is here. Closer to a porter than to "sweet."
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Picked this puppy up in Madison, Wi. Pours a pitch black with a tan head that recedes to a good size ring. Thick spider web lace strings. Nose is a little coffee malt, but I get mainly licorice and some dark roast chocolate. Tastes like cold sweet creamy coffee. Good show.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared at the March tasting in Santa Cruz. Pours dark brown with an ecru head. Aroma is rather smokey, flavor is also smokey with some cold coffee notes and a thinnish body. Most tasting participants agreed that this was bizarrely smoke-based. It came across more like a schwarzbier than a stout really. Could this have been mislabeled or infected?
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours black. Good coffee nose and taste. Solid overall stout. New glarus.
