(Served in an American pint glass)

A- This beer has a jet black body with a dark tan head that lasts as a thin film for a good while. There is no sign of carbonation in this body.

S- The smell of dark brown roasted malt is well blended like it is a bit stale with a hint of chocolate in there. No black roasted smells or deep grain complexity.

T- This beer has a big cold coffee flavor with a faint brown malt note and a hint of wet wood in the finish. The flavor is pretty light over all.

M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a very light fusel hint in the last few sips and a pretty clean finish.

D- This beer doesn't have the big black roasted flavor I consider requirements for a stout and the malt flavors that are there just are very good or interesting.

(part of a 6oz sampler)

This might be the perfect starter stout, but to me it was a tale of two beers - what it told me before I tasted, and what it said afterward.

Poured a thick, ruddy baking chocolate brown, opaque. The tan head was very tight and clung rediculously to the glass, although it filmed over quickly. Nose is fantastic - infused with coffee currants. So far this looks & smells like a great beer.

Its advertised as very smooth, and they aren't kidding. It is smooth, tasting much lighter than my eyes & nose were telling me. A very enjoyable coffee tastes swirls on the tongue...hmmm...

...then it breaks my heart, and completely fades away into a watery, thin, no hops finish..not even an aftertaste. Where did this beer, which looked, smelled and even tasted great, go? Talk about premature ebeerulation....geesh.

This was like the first hill of a Cedar Point roller coster. All the build-up, then it just comes crashing downhill one way into nothing. What a disappointment. If they wanted smooth, they got it by neutering this beer on the tongue and letting it fade into a bad memory. Too bad.

This Stout was smooth and creamy but had a very thin and metallic mouthfeel. Thick beige had and nice lacing but this one was lacking somehow. It just needs to be a little more rounded.
