Slack Tub Stout
Old Forge Brewing Company

 

 

I had this on nitro draft at the bar. Very pleasant and smooth beer.

I had this on draught (nitro) at the brew pub. Pint pour. It pours a deep mahogany with cola hues when held to the light, and two full fingers of dense, creamy tan head and lacing. It's a very attractive pour. The nose features roasted malt, black coffee, dark chocolate, and a whiff of oatmeal. It tastes as expected: oatmeal, burnt coffee grounds, baker's chocolate, nuts, and earthy char. It's actually more bitter than I anticipated. It has a creamy, pillowy mouth feel. Because it was served on nitro so there was very little carbonation. The 5.2% ABV is barely noticeable. Overall, it's an easy drinking, nicely-crafted, solid Oatmeal Stout.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours deep dark mahogany bordering black with a tan head.

Smells of roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruit, and coffee.

Taste was roasted malt with caramel notes, bitter chocolate and coffee, followed by hints of plumb. A very nice nitro offering.
