Originally reviewed on January 24, 2005. On tap at the brewpub. Didnt really consider this a Guinness clone, considering this beer actually had flavor. Pour of deep black with brown fringes and tan clean head. Tangy roast aroma. Heavy sugar and roast flavor. Strong scotch, oak, and oat flavors on the back end. Touch of earthy and chewy grain over a little charcoal. Palate is a little thinner than I would like, but its drinkable

On nitro-tap at the brewpub: Spear's Tug Stout is a shadowy dark black with a thin but firm sandy tanned head that keeps its froth for a good while til a fluffy collar and thin skim remains. Spotty lace sticks well all over the glass.
Aroma of mild roasted malt with slight chocolate, vanilla hints, and a subdued boubon heat to it as it warms.
Nice and frothy flavors of light roasty coffee, touches of chocolate and barley flakes; cindered dry hop wood and a thinner char note back up the finish with tiny tid bits of heat.
Feel is a bit thinner then medium, but seemingly keeps a good smoothness and frothy texture and is favorably roasted. A very nice offering from nitro tap for this stout. One to enjoy again and again.

This pours a dark brown. Opaque, with a great creamy tan head. The head looks like it had been whipped its so creamy. Resembles a pint of guiness but the head is taller. Smells of chocolate and has maybe some coffee notes. The taste follows the head. Chocolate, coffee, malt. It has a nice creamy mouthfeel. Its a good stout, good for drinking just a few because its pretty heavy.
