thejoeshow (167), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Nov 29, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown/black with a frothy tan head that has great retention and very nice lacing. Aroma is heavy on the chocolate and roasted malts. Smells nice and smooth. Flavor is rich and roasted with a very nice underling hint of chocolate. I really like this. It is easy on the palate while being big enough on the palate to compete with bigger beers. This is a very approachable stout and, dare I say it......a gateway stout....wtf? kassner (217), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 27, 2008 On tap at mnagoo’s as Scell Stout.
Dark and slightly cloudy, not much for hea but compatred well to my benchmark, Stormking. Not so much hops but enough and lots of smoke and molasses. Alittle on the high side for carbonation RSRIZZO (1078), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 26, 2008 Had this brew at G.A.B.F. 08’. Aroma is light with just a hint of roasted malt. Color is black with a tight tan head. Flavor is an easy mellow roasted flavor that comes on a light/medium body. Its just too mellow and light. LinusStick (1596), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2008 Ugh....this is absolutely awful. If there wasn’t a Penguin game on while I was drinking this it would be a drainpour. Aroma was weak. Cereal and roasted malt. Pour was a nasty deep dark brown with no bubbles and no head. Taste was very thin and flat. No carbonation and very little taste. A hint of roasted malt and sugary coffee. The lack of carbonation makes it taste like a cup of coffee that has been put in the fridge and added a cup of water to it. Double blah. pj1855 (103), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Sep 28, 2008 Dark brown/black in color with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate and burnt coffee. At first all I could taste was the burnt coffee finish. But the flavors rounded out as the beer warmed. Nutty chocolate flavor on the front end with a slight roasted coffee finish. A little thin but not bad.
