2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap - small thick head, very dark brown practically black color, smooth texture with some chocolate flavors - not my favorite type of beer, but this one is not bad; no coffee taste, so that is a big plus for me
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 6/20/11
Aroma: The nose is roasty, some chocolate, and a little bit of burnt malts
Appearance: It pours dark brown with a small light brown head and no lace
Flavor: The taste is roasty and burnt, like the nose, with a chocolatey sweetness
Palate: The body is a touch on the watery side, smooth, and fairly creamy, with a rounded mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
To prove that whole top rater of Little Rock thing was just a joke, if I was really trying to be the top rater of Little Rock, I would have tried all 3 of the beers they had, but I just tried the 2 on this trip (this one and the IPA). This one was a decent stout, but it was fairly one dimensional. Still though, it had some nice flavors.

on tap at the brewery pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma is light roasted malts. Flavor is heavy roast, cocoa, coffee finishing very dry. A great stout.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the brewpub. Dark black. The head is thin, but is creamy and stays with it. Quite milky, almost like chocolate milk. Rich flavors, yet retains a lightness to it as well. Quite good. (#4045, 12/16/2010)
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Poured black with a thick, khaki head. But yet again, a house quality of being way, way too thin. My notes get even more harsh, so I will leave it at that.
