3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 AllAboutStout (605) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 4, 2008
Pours amber in color with reddish hues. An impressive two inch head forms on the pour and manages to stick around for awhile. Smell is yeasty, bready and a bit musty. Taste is more of they yeasty and bready experience, but there’s a slight metallic flavor as well. Not sure where that is coming from. Very highly carbonated. I’ll let this one sit for awhile and warm up, hopefully the carbonation will die down a bit. Decent beer, but not overly complex by any means.

750ml bottle. Refined aroma of burnt toffee, pear, and brown sugar. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white an reduced quickly to a thin film. There wasn’t much lace to speak of. Light to medium bodied, effervescent, and dry. I tasted toffee, clove, and toasted bread. There was also a splash of white wine. Pretty good stuff.
