Stopped by the brewpub while at the nearby Convention Center for lunch. I settled on Leather-Neck for a business lunch beer. Black medium bodied, creme lacing, light bitterness, minimal coffee and roasted malts.

Nov 11, 2007 My brother bought home a growler for me from a recent trip to Atlantic City. I’m very much in agreement with the previous post. It poured jet black with an appealing choclatey head, but that disapeared quickly without a trace. Watery, unremarkable with nothing Stout like about it.

Oct 28, 2007 Lasting beige head tops the straight black pour. Timid aroma shows lots of hesitation on the roast, trying its hand with a bit of fruitiness – mostly in the shape of blackberries. More bready than anything with more casual burnt notes than proper roast. The dryness never really shows up. Staling palate with a rather plasticy finish that is totally out of place. A poor example. Ironically, a note of leather can be imagined in there. Exaggerated carbonation feebly attempts to clean the mess up.

May 10, 2007 Sample at the brew pub: This brew is solid black with a medium thin and fizzy beige head that diminishes rapidly. Specks of lacing. Nutty, roasted malt aroma. Medium-bodied and smooth with roasted coffee and malt flavors that fall off pretty fast. There is a touch of chocolate as well but again it retreats quickly. The finish is on the thin side and feels soapy, with a lingering hops and coffee aftertaste. Average, and would be significantly better if it weren’t so timid.
