riversideAK (1630), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 20, 2008 Opaque almost black. Roasty aroma with some chocolate, maybe ash or smoke. Flavor is more roast, some sweetness of cocoa, chocolate, a little smoke or ash. Lingering roasted dryness and some smoke. Creamy body. quite good.
SuzyGreenberg (1028), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 31, 2008 sampler @ brewery - jet black with thin tan head; kind of disappointed that they only had one "dark" brew, though this didn’t exactly inspire much either; aromas mostly of oats and roasted malts; body is thin and flavor is lacking; not very impressed aracauna (2238), Georgia, USA Jun 3, 2008 Tasted at Noogfest. Has coffee and slight anise flavor and aroma. a little dry for the bitterness. JohnC (1760), Mission Viejo, California, USA Jun 1, 2008 Thanks to beerguy101 for sharing at Noogfest 08. This is a nice, dry, roasty stout. tasty. beerguy101 (3488), Newark, California, USA May 28, 2008 Tasted at the May Northern California Beer Tasting. This stout pours a deep black color from the tap at the brewpub. Medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is chocolate, coffee and roasty. A medium bodied stout. The malts are chocolate and coffee. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. It’s a large stout without being over the top. Nice balance. Touch of dark fruit. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and somewhat roasty.
