BMan1113VR (1156), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Oct 5, 2008 On tap in Little Rock. Tastes like a schwarzbier, not a stout. Pours with hazy, dark brown body with a layer of off-white foamy head that leaves great lacing. Aroma of cinnamon, brown sugar and malt. Taste is roasted coffee grounds, cinnamon and brown sugar. Water like mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Doesnt seem like a stout to me....Way to thin, and light with too many coffee grounds instead of instead of coffee beans. Butters (573), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 14, 2008 Draft at cool springs. Nice clear brown with good creamy tan head. Dark malty aroma. Malty and roasty in the flavor, but as I have found with many of their beers, too much of a single hop profile. Some cardboard and hop in the finish. Kinda falls flat if you ask me, but not a horrible beer. BeerHawk (801), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Aug 26, 2008 Draft at Cool Springs location. Dark brown in the glass with a creamy tan head that leaves a thin layer lasting and some lacing. Malty aroma of chocolate, coffee, and light roast. The flavor stands out slightly more than the aroma with much the same (chocolate, coffee). Some caramel present also with a light roast. Medium to full body with a mocha and light roast aftertaste. Very good!
