Commercial Description:
Humble comfort in every sip
Wheat stout ale. Chocolate malt, wheat malt and carefully chosen specialty grains provide deep, black wort balanced with the Nugget and Fuggle hop varieties. Top fermenting ale yeast completes this beer resulting in full flavored, full bodied toasted/burnt chocolate wheat ale.

Smooth, with a nice chocolately roasty taste. It wasn’t overly bitter, but smooth like an oatmeal stout. Very enjoyable to drink. Robust chocolate taste, with slight hop bitterness and a nice body.

tap at shorts.....darker reddish brown pour with a frothy light brown head.... slighty bready aroma with just a hint of chocolate but was expecting a little bit more....chocolate became more apparent in the flavor with more of a roasted malt addition to it. semi-lively carbonation....pretty good.

On tap at Shorts in a sampler glass. Pours dark black with a beige head. Nose of chocolate and some banana. Chocolate, brown sugar, banana, wheat and a touch of spice in the flavors. Bittersweet finish. With the wheat, I was not thinking this was going to be classified as a stout. Tasty though.

draft at hopcats shorts dinner. pour is very deep brown with red hints, and a nice off brown head. flavor is quite chocolatey, with a little bit of coffee in the back. only let down is that it is a little bit thin for my stout tastes.

Sampled at Hopcat’s. This one was quite impressive, I liked it. dark brown/black body with small dark brown head...aroma of charred mlats, bitter chocolate, and a light coffee finish...flavor is of heavily roasted chocolate, coffee, dough, and walnut...great, creamy mouthfeel.

Smores, anyone? This dark roasted malt matched with a tan head spells dessert. Full of flavor and works the palate. A great choice for the end of the night.
