COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Originally brewed for our brewery that once was located at Lake Sonoma Winery. This nitrogenated dry stout is low in alcohol but big in flavor. Its smooth roasted coffee like aromas and flavor are clean and drinkable.

Nice light balance in this stout.. nothing to strong standing flavors. Just a good rosary coffee balance.

Tap @ RR. Black pour with a thick tan nitro head and a lovely cascade. Nose is damped due to the head, but is lightly roasted. Medium-heavy body and light, very fine carbonation. Dark roasted malt, light chocolate and toffee, and a finishing tartness (?acidulated malt). I’ve been trying to do this and failing. Maybe a bit more biscuit needed, but very good and better than Guinness by a ways.

Black classic looking dry irish stout on nitro. Taste is burnt chocolate and some nice coffee flavours. Really smooth and a good session stout!

kathouse (574) - Nevada, USA - NOV 23, 2012
Pitch black with a thick tan head. This nitro charged ale lacks complexity. Dry, roasted, and boring.

phaleslu (4454) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - NOV 5, 2012
Draft in a sampler at the brewpub, and some sips stolen from my wife’s glass. Pours a dark brown color with some amber highlights on the edges and a creamy beige head. Notes of chocolate, toast, nuts, and some smoky, peaty notes as well. Light-bodied, with a super dry mouthfeel and quick finish. Almost a bit watery. A bit of a disappointment for someone who likes stouts as much as I do.

Brown black pour with a ton if brown head. Lots of carbonation? Good stout. Not too much different than guiness in my opinion. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
