3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
One of the better stouts I’ve had at this alcohol level. Dark, roasty, super drinkable. Dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Solid oatmeal stout. Nice round texture, bit of coffee on the nose and flavor with a tad of sweetness in the finish. Nice to have an alternative when you aren’t up for a TenFidy.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at their Lyons pub. Jet black with a thin tan fizzy head. Aromas of coffee, bitter dark chocolate, oat and burlap. Flavor very much mirrors the aroma, with the burlap and oat providing a nice dryness next to the chocolate. Medium body with vibrant carbonation.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Smooth creamy stout with a nice roasted chocolate tone. Its not always on tap and you need to look closely for the handle when it is as it is not one that stands out among the many other beers on tap.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Homemade Liquids and Solids. Deep dark brown, near black. Aromas of roasted chocolate, a bit of oats, light smoke..."stoutiness". Flavor is roasty, big and dark. Light smoke, gentle chocolate, hop bitterness that doesn’t linger nor leave hop flavor. But gets hoppier as it warms. Chocolate is most evident flavor, but isn’t overdone for kicks. Pretty average stout I suppose.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On Tap at Oskar Blues Home Made Liquids & Solids, Longmont. Dark black appearance with a quite small tan head. Pretty standard dark, slightly roasty, chocolate malty nose. Roasty, medium hop bitterness, dark malty flavor. Nothing special.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours very dark. Thick tan head that hangs around begging for a Belgian Dip. Great roasty flavor. Bitter cocoa, roasted coffee. Nice bitterness. Great stout.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Draught) syrupy blackish/red with a ring of khaki bubbles. Nose of sweet percolated coffee, maple, caramel, smells nice. Taste of unsweetened coffee, nutty, lightly roasty. Watery body, but decent linger.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught) Pours a dark brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, anise, coffee, cocoa, and leather. Flavor of roasted malt, toasted grain, burnt, raisins, and cocoa
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft in Lyons. Pitch black with a thick beige-brown head. Big roasty chocolate aroma, very nice. Rich and roasty, mossy. Sweet, approaching bitter with all the cocoa tones. Full bodied, heavy on the specialty malts. Big, tasty stuff. Some burnt chocolate tones. Oatmeal chewiness really makes the mouthfeel quite luscious. Nice beer.
