Tried the full range of beers at the Brewhaus last weekend, none were really impressive whatsoever. The Stout was the most bearable of the bunch, but still below average. Review from notes.

Really odd that they consider this a unique beer, as it was simply a blend of the Pilsner and Stout. Color was a copper brown, fizzy trails of carbonation were visible. Foam faded fast into a thin ring at the edge, this looked more like a soda than beer.

Aroma was extremely faint, virtually nothing there besides a wet grain husk aroma. Unfortunately the 50% stout didn't contribute enough to the smell or taste... sort of like pouring Miller Lite into a mild stout like Guinness.

Overcarbonated. Too fizzy and gaseous, which detracted from the taste. Slightly nutty malt, but overall bland. Hard to pull out any unique flavor from this, as it was just too bland and similar to the other house beers.

I went for a guest beer, the 6 Row Dunkelweiss, after trying the house beers. Not a good sign.
