Black with fairly small tan head. Smells of chocolate malt. The taste is excellent with smooth cholocate, figs, and natural black licorice. There's a bit of a roasted coffee bean aftertaste. The beer is very smooth with lower than average carbonation for a stout.

Looks like a brown stout, deep brown. Mississippi river y'all. Some chocolate malt sensation, relatively tame.
Plenty of hops and bitterness in this stout, the ibus are a poppin'. Not an overly thick beer, but it definitely falls in the chewy range. You get hints of smoke and coffee from the roasted malt.
Been reliable every time I've had it.

Look: Dark black - Not much head
Smell: Roasted coffee; Slight hint of fruit
Taste: Just a smidgen of upfront fruit sweetness, but not nearly as much as
expected, given my experience with MR's porter. Dry, slightly bitter finish.
Feel: Full
Overall: Had high hopes, but alas, not enough sweetness in
this one for me. More of a tease. As noted, would rather
drink MR's porter.

Opaque in color, tan head.
Big chocolately aroma, very rich, sweet smelling.
Taste is much like aroma, but less sweet. Soft bitter finish
Medium full body, medium carbonation.
Nice stout. Not overly roasty. Some may find it too tame to be considered an American Stout.

Awesome stout, had it on nitro.
Really heavy coco flavors, not to malty. I could drink this beer all night long and that's dangerous.
I've fished Mad River for steelhead coming up on 10 years now, always hoped to have a place to grab a beer and some food after a long day on the river. Now there's a perfect place =p
