May 22, 2006 Pours a very dark opaque black with almost no light getting through and a thin beige head. Aroma is nice roasted balrey-coffee-like, and some chocolate and crystal sweetness, with the distinct lactose sweetness. Flavor is also moderately sweet, chocolate, roasted barley, and a bit of toffee. Creamy and smooth finish. Pretty good for a sweet stout.

May 21, 2006 beer pours a deep brown tinted black with a tan head that retains ok and leaves good lace.
mellow nose balances quiet coffee notes with deep and rich chocolate tones. very smooth.
well-rounded flavor is a combination of malty sweetness and almost enough roast to balance.
very over-all drinkable beer with a very pleasnt balance.

May 21, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Quinn’s IGA in La Crosse. Pours flat black with a medium thick and rocky beige head. Sticky patches of lacing. Strong roasty aroma of coffee and malt. Rich and smooth body with a nice flavor profile of roasted malt, chocolate and espresso. The finish is sweet with underlying coffee notes. As with most New Glarus beers this is tasty and well-made.

May 20, 2006 Milk chocolate, coffee, and oatmeal...this stout would be good for breakfast. Creamy texture but somewhat thinner than I like. Hops become more prominent in the slightly dry finish. Another sample for which I must thank fellow LoSBD member, El_Borracho.

May 20, 2006 Many thanks to a colleague that brought this stout for me to sample from a recent business trip to Wisconsin. I poured this from the bottle to my favorite glass. The head was VERY thin... maybe half an inch max. The aroma was robust with malt. Initial intake was smooth, silky and quite simply delightful. I preferred this over guinness and can’t wait to drink it again.

May 19, 2006 Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours black with faint ruby hues and a large diminishing tan head. Nice aroma of sweet and roasted malts, milk chocolate and coffee. Flavour’s even better: roasted malt, chocolate, a hint of coffee, nuts, oatmeal and light hops -- well balanced and delicious! Medium bodied, dry mouthfeel. A real joy to drink, this is a fantastic Stout.

May 19, 2006 Thanks to Ohio Dad for this one. The pour is ebony/ruby edged, with 1-finger brown head. The aroma is roasty malty, with a lot of chocoff and molasses hints. The taste is dark oaty malty, with some dark chocolate, molasses, nuts, and finishing hops. The palate is a tad light for my stout desires, but the complexity and balance are outstanding, as usual for this Hall-of-Fame brewer. When I retire, I want to buy a farm within walking distance of the source of these beers. I think i could live just fine off a diet of New Glarus beer and Wisconsin cheddar.
