3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2004 rerate: i can see through this mohogany liquid and notice that it is unfiltered. !>) very light for even a porter in both palate and appearance. the label states this is a full bodied beer...yeah right. beautiful and consistent off-tan foam with tightly packed bubbles. oh this is so fresh! aroma is lightly hopped and roasty with hints of black coffee. mouthfeel is creamy; mild twang with roastiness and coffee flavors coming in the end; finishes very creamy.

A tad on the weak side for a stout, but a decent beer nonetheless. Warm dark aroma and flavor, coffee tones prevalent.

Thanks to urbnhautebourg for this one. I have heard good things about New Glarus so I was looking forward to getting this. Not the best Stout I have had but not too shabby. I ended up drinking this warmer than most Stouts and it was noticeably better as it warmed. Dark brown with almost no head. Decent roasted coffee aroma and flavor. A little overcarbonated and thin for my tastes but I still liked it.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Black, good head. Weak smell, that of coffee when you can smell it. They said at the brewery to let this warm to room temperature, so thats what a did. Flavorless. Way too watery for a stout. Worst beer from New Glarus I’ve ever had, and I’m very disappointed.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rich coffee aroma. Thick and creamy with a complex taste. Seems like there is more alcohol. Slight hoppiness at end but leaves a great coffee-with-2-sugars-and-a-creamer aftertaste. Very Good!!!!!

Black pour with a huge tan head.Nice roasted coffee aroma that didnt come out in the taste until it was was damn near hot. At that point it was a excellent brew unfortunately it was half gone by then.

Bottle GABF 02: Coffee aroma, brown color. Ends a little sweet, fizzy mouthfeel and has only an average taste.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
GABF 2002: Ground Folgers aroma. Dark brown colour. The beer is failry lightbodied and a bit watery. Flavour is chocolatey with coffee.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Strong but not incredibly complex coffee malt flavor, smooth but lacking any hop character whatsoever. Enjoyable, easy drinking, but not as innovative as coffee stouts such as Bell’s Java.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Near opaque, with a few particles present, and a meager head that pretty much disappears. Of course coffee dominates the aroma, but it’s pleasantly restrained. Very natural coffee flavor, which blends nicely with the dark malt. Moderately roasty. The mouthfeel is a bit watery, but makes this a relatively quaffable stout. I wouldn’t have this all too often, but I like it.
