3.86/5  rDev +15.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Picked up a single in one of those "Ah fuck it, I'll just grab random crap" mix-a-sixes.

A: Eh, nothing particularly special here. Deep brown with a hazelnut head. Poor retention, not much lacing. Gets an extra half a point for the nice bottle art and slick ace of spades cap.

S: Not very stout-like at all. Hardly a rich, malty aroma, but more of a light, sweet, more inviting smell. I'm getting some nuts and milk chocolate.

T: First thought was distinctly " brown ale". Think Goose Island Nut Brown. The nutty character that resides in the smell finds itself in the taste as well. Very rich with a slight malt presence and a sweet, chocolately aftertaste.

M: The beer is, as previously mentioned, quite rich with a smooth, albeit slightly lighter body than was expected. Nothing like drinking motor oil, but also far from thin. Medium/medium-thick and works for this beer.

O: Not a half-bad brew. If you're expecting a traditional stout, this is not the beer for you. It's more of a Lite stout, very sweet with unobtrusive flavors and qualities that make it rather balanced and enjoyable by everyone. I'd seek this out again, although probably just in another random mix-a-six.

3.37/5  rDev +0.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
A: The beer is very dark red in color (black in appearance when viewed from quite some distance). It poured with a thin tan head that quickly died down, leaving some lacing on the surface and a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of dark malts are present in the nose along with hints of molasses.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and also has notes of sweetness.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied but rather thin on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer definitely looks like a stout but seems quite thin for the style. I definitely would have enjoyed this beer more if it was fuller bodied and had more pronounced flavors in the taste.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.25
Low-priced, undated 12 oz bottle in a snifter.
A: Deep brown, nearly black in the glass, with a modest tan head that has weak retention. Moderate lacing.

S: Pleasing aroma of dark roasted and sweet caramel malts; more of the latter than expected for a stout. Hints of molasses and milk chocolate. Smells like an amber/stout hybrid.

T: Good flavor, but sweet like a milk stout and lacking in strength. Overly mild aftertaste.

M: Smooth; light-medium body; slightly astringent and prickly despite low-medium carbonation; some dryness in the fnish.

O: Not bad, especially for the price. Although leaning to the sweet side for style, this is overall a decently balanced brew. Timid flavor and poor mouthfeel are the main weaknesses.
