Taverner (417), San Ramon, California, USA Jul 16, 2008 Pours black with brown in the thin areas. Notes of sesame, nuts and unsweetened chocolate. One of the better Dry Stouts I’ve had. timfoolery (297), California, USA Nov 26, 2007 A very dark, dry stout. It didn’t have the most flavor of other stouts I’ve had, but Sudwerk always has a great brew on tap. grant (741), Martinez, California, USA Oct 12, 2007 Dark brown with curiously light tan head. Papery, earthy anise aroma, some coffee. Mild, lightly earthily malty flavor with plenty of roastiness, but not overwhelming. Well-melded dry stout. DTM (329), Winters, California, USA Jul 14, 2007 Updated: Nov 26, 2007On tap at the Sudwerks brewery. A dark bear, almost black. Small lightly tanned head. Moderate beer with a slightly nutty taste. Overall an little better than average beer. DYCSoccer17 (1996), Davis, California, USA Jun 30, 2007 On tap at the brewpub in late June 2007. 0.3 L sample. Roasted, toasted, mildly metallic and hoppy aroma present. Lightly peppery and a bit of smokiness is in there, too. An interesting enough aroma. Moderately opaque dark brown-mahogany colored body with a frothy light tan head and nice lacing present. Starts a bit grainy and cereal-like. Lightly roasted, choco, and burnt flavors are present in the middle. Becomes quite hoppy with plenty of "C" hops in the finish. Kind of thin-bodied and overly hoppy. Just seems kind of lacking. I think this is too hoppy to fit the "Dry Stout" classification.
