3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
pours a brown color. big roasty flavor but still pretty mild overall. the notes are neither chocolate or coffee but inbetween. on nitro at Tony’s. Pretty representative of the style.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My Bottom Line:
Roasted coffee bean allusions and toasted bread crusts define this Stout from top to bottom, creating some interest for the watery, bloated nitroed feel.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A creamy head of foam (the wonders of nitrogen) floats atop the dark brown.
-The roasted malt bitterness is lengthy.
-There is no complexity to speak of, but if you are looking for a decent pint of Stout, this will be quite adequate.
-The aroma and finish were the two most pleasant attributes of this brew.
On tap at the north Fresno location.

On tap @ the brewpub. Black with ruby brown edges and an unimpreesive 1/4 finger beige nitro head. Lots of bitter chocolate and roasted malts.Flavor added some black patent burnt/acidic notes as well as some raisins. Burnt finish with bitterness @ a 3. Low carbonation with a light to medium body. OK.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery. This dark brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a bread aroma. There is a thin palate, but a nice roasted malt background with some coffee flavor.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: NOV 6, 2004 Draught at Sequoia Brewing Company, Fresno
Beautiful black beer served on Nitro creating a creamy tan head. Had some of my wifes at the brewery and brought home a growler. Was very sublime fresh but after slight aging in the fridge (two weeks) became intensely flavorful and aromatic with strong black coffee dominating over a slight cocoa aftertaste and finih. Damn good.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black with red at the edges, thick tan nitro head. Very roasty aroma. Watery feel and flavor, with mild smokey hops and coffee. Mildly dry finish, but a bit slimey for a dry stout. Pretty creamy.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Black with slight ruby edges and a thick light brown nitro head. The aroma was pure coffee. The flavor was very roasted...coffee...slight bitter chocolate. Very dry finish. Flat nitro feel.
