To me this smells similar to their porter, but roastier. Opaque with a nice creamy head. Enveloping roastiness with a lingering finish. Good hop presence, and well balanced. Sierra Nevada seems to make really balanced beers that aren’t boring. Good stuff.

wow a true stout i was very suprised becouse there pale ale was not good at all but this stout with its hevanly aroma pretty color of dark blackish brown and a taste of a high claas stout with a hops after tone it is a beer that every stout lover can well injoy with a low price

Might be the new favorite! I was a pale ale guy but this dark beer is sweet coffee beer bliss! 4BI

One of the best beers I have tried. Appearance is dark with a dark creamy head. Goes down smooth with only a slight after taste. decently heavy mouth feel and smooth. Great served in a chilled beer mug. Highly recommended for any stout lover.

coffee, herbs, basement aromas, leather, dough, cooked vegetables, smoke, skunky, woody, cough drop, butterscotch, brown, sparkling, frothy, rocky head, medium sweetness, very bitter, heavily sour, umami, full body, creamy, oily feel, average carbonation, long finish,

Deeelish. Dryer than the porter with a more pronounced roastiness. Just as dark in appearance with what feels like a crisper, less creamy mouthfeel. Heavy body.

This is the only stout, that I’ve tried, that successfully marries west coast hops with classic stout malts. Sierra Nevada really knows how to put there individual stamp on all the styles that they brew! The stout exemplifies that tradition; this is a " go-to" beer for me, very drinkable.

excellent stout nice black color chocolate taste,however not for lovers of crud light or michelob ultra

UPDATED: APR 9, 2003 Faint coffee/chocolate aroma, a little hops in there too. Appearance is not as dark as stouts I'm used to. Flavor is great, roasted malt and everything, it's all in here. Perfectly balanced bitterness. The palate is where this really comes through though. The most beautiful thing my mouth has felt. Soo smooth and so good. The more I drink the better it gets. Does Sierra Nevada make a bad beer? I haven't had one from them yet. I suspect mine is aged, because the hops in mine seem to have faded significantly. The bottles had dust all over them, bought from a gas station where most people probably have little interest in this sort of thing. Something about this beer REALLY hits the spot dead on! It's become one of my all-time favorites.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2003 Great beer, although more like a porter than a stout. Just about the best balance between sweetness and hops I've ever tasted. Body is lighter than the dark color would suggest. Chocolate/coffee notes, more sweet than bitter, but somehow manages to avoid being too sweet. This was a Christmas present, and a good one.
