Trophy Brewing

 

 

 

Drinking this at Tapped Drafts and Crafts in Greenville NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks dark brown with a tan foamy head that dropped quickly and some thin lacing.
Smells malty, sweet, chocolate, coffee, milk.
Taste follows the nose nicely.
Mouth feel is thin for the style and a bit sticky.
Overall mouth feel is thin for a stout, but a nice, low ABV stout that I might order again.

A-Pours a dark color with a slight head and lacing
A-Aroma has salt and lactose hints
T-The taste follows the nose with a salt and lactose flavor
M-A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
O-A good sweet stout

 

 

 

 

Very dark pour with a head that disappears almost immediately. Nose isn't pleasing, thin mouth feel, notes of caramel (unlike others I am picking that up) but not overwhelming. Not really getting much salt, residual sweetness and some lactose sugariness but not enough for a milk stout. I am disappointment.

 

 

Very dark with a nice head that soon disappeared. Flat looking and tasting with a lot of roasted flavors, but no discernible caramel. This is a decent but certainly not great stout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome flavor

 

 

Not good. Thin-looking out of the can, not even as dark as a porter, decent head. Very off-putting "metallic" smell. Not much taste at all- no salt, no caramel, no sweet, just...nothing. A tiny burnt flavor. Didn't finish it, very disappointed.

Canned 01/19/18
Light fizzy tan head, fades quickly, dark black beer

Nose caramel, lactose milk sugar, little dark choc cocoa, touch of roasty, toasted biscuit, little cola syrup

Taste earthy roasty notes, a little coffee, burnt lactose sugar, toffee little fruity condensed milk sugar, some caramel, little creamy. Finishes a touch bitter and drier but sticky little coffee roast and char

Mouth is med bod, little creamy but sticky, lighter carb

Overall wasn't very impressed, very little caramel, no salt, bit roasty and burnt, lactose, light on the carb, just missed most of the marks

Picked up a can of this at Julio's. Canned in January 2018.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip an almost cola brown, dark, with a one finger mocha head that faded very quickly to leave a super light, wispy head.

S - Aromas of light roasted malts, brown malts, faint malt sweetness, super super faint chocolate. Not getting anything I would say smells like caramel. Smells almost like a generic brown ale.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with good brown malts and light roast. There is some decent malt sweetness along with a flash of salinity. The caramel comes out in ribbons, not cloy but pleasant sweetness. Just a little bit of bitterness on the finish but the caramel keeps that at bay.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, bit creamy, body a touch on the lighter side.

O - Overall this was a decent enough stout but the appearance and nose were incredibly lackluster. Really unfortunate.

Serving Type: Can

Opaque with shallow tan head. Coffee, chocolate, salted caramel flavor. Light bitter aftertaste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark brown opaque light tan head with a few ribbons of lacing. Smells roasty and sweet with some caramel notes. Sweet salty caramel roasted malt bitter char finish. Solid beer.

 

 

 

 

A: Pours an opaque very dark chocolate brown (approaching jet black) in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and faint dark cola brown + garnet colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense foamy dark tan head that quickly reduces to a large patch of very thin film covering about 75% of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of salted caramel, milk chocolate, cocoa, and dark fruit (fig, prune, and date) over the top of light to moderate aromas of lightly roasted + chocolate malts with a moderate amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there is a slightly stronger than moderate flavor of lightly roasted, chocolate, and caramel malts with moderate amounts of caramel + dark fruit (fig, prune, and date) sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of milk chocolate, salted caramel, and cocoa. Light amounts of roasty bitterness in the finish which does not linger for too long leaving some light caramel + chocolate flavors lingering well beyond the finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth and creamy.

O: Enjoyable and easy to drink with the lighter mouthfeel and not over the top sweetness - though it lacks some of the complexity that is usually found in these dessert stouts. I have had this one a few times and enjoy it but it does not stand out in the style for me.

 

Very subtle...
