Pearl Street Canal Street Stout

draft- nicely done- a bit too much in the molasses flavor category, and could have used a but more roast- but enjoyable nonetheless.

[1352-20080517] Tap. Coffee dark roast aroma has a hint of chocolatey smoothness. Clear, dark dark brown ruby body with a medium-lasting creamy light mocha head. Weakened earthy malt and coffee roast flavour has a mildly bitter end. Medium-full body. Nice stout, could be even more solid.

2008-05-17. Listed as Street Brawler Stout. Very dark brown near black body, small creamy tan head. (3+) Mild sweet roast aroma, dusty malt in the background. (6+) Flavour is milder than expected, mocha roast, mild sweet malt. Light bitterness grows in the finish and lingers. (6+) Average palate is on the lighter side for a stout. Average but okay. Sampler at the brewpub.

Rerate. (Street Brawler Stout) Poured black with a thin beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma with caramel and milk. Medium, smooth body. Flavor is roasted with smoke, caramel, and milk chocolate. Pretty good.

Draught. Deep brown body with ruby along the edges and a small white creamy covering. Aroma consists of bittersweet cocoa, toast, and almonds. Slightly sour oat flavour and bittersweet chocolate are the more prominent flavours here. Finishes with coffee bitterness.
Half pint at the brewpub sometime in the fall of 2007.
