3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at The Grand Canal Shoppes, The Venetian, Las Vegas.’ I’m all for English breweries installing these kind of man-crèche facilities in shopping centres nationwide back home. Pitch with thick tan collar and curtains of lace. Chocolate ice cream and mocha aroma. Gentle roasted character with the impression of cocoa-dusted charcoal. Misses the chunkiness of a true stout; it’s thin and mellow, but very pleasant and I can’t complain- I’m not shopping.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draught at the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes location. This brew pours dark brownish-black with a compact beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short stringy lacing. The aroma is mildly roasty with coffee and malt notes. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet malt, roasted coffee and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is malty with a short coffee aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
If you are a competent and commited brewer, I figure it’s hard to go wrong with a stout (just don’t scrimp on the ingredients and you’ll be okay). This is a fine example. Dark chestnut, thin brown head. Earthy aroma with coffee and roast, a little bitter chocolate maybe but not much sweetness. Medium bodied and smooth.

On a nitro tap at Sin City in the Flamingo. Pours a flat black with a medium sized tan head. Light bourbon and vanilla notes. Malty and a touch sweet, body is mostly dead due to the nitro. Finishes with a light bitterness.
