Black with with brown/tan head that settles at a nicely. Roast malts and chocolate at reasonable levels. Thin and flimsy mouthfeel. Overall I enjoyed it.

Jan 28, 2008 Samples at the brewery on a visit in August 2007. Steve was tinkering around with a name for it, Starboard Stout I believe. Pours dark brown with a beige head and moderate lacing. Coffee and chocolate notes. Body is on the thin side a a Session stout should be. Overall, a solid stout from a relatively unknown but talented Maine brewery.

Jan 26, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Black pour with thin tan head that recedes back to the glass edges. Light chocolate and roast aromas, not too strong. Nice and dry throughout, some bittersweet chocolate notes on the finish. A nice stout.
SoLan (1166), Orlando, Florida, USA
Jan 20, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Dark brown, brown edges, small tan head. Roasty bittersweet malt, dark fruits, molasses, and a light tang. Low fill on the growler, the tang could be oxidation setting in. Medium to medium/full body, balanced carbonation. Solid session stout.

Jan 20, 2008 Growler courtesy porterhouse. Pours a really deep, almost completely black color. Aroma is mellow, in a nice way. Roasted, cinnamon coffee aroma is dominant, with some back notes of dried dark fruits. Flavor is very well balanced, with the roast coming through, though there does seem to be a touch of acidity that is a touch out of place.
