First of three beers beers tried at Fixture on 10/29/13.

Very excited to try this, I have been hoping someone would eventually open a brewery in Waukesha with a taproom.

Pours a light black with a nice looking creamy tan head.

Smell is minimal, no roast, no coffee - not a great sign.

Taste is sub-par. No roast, no coffee, no chocolate - very strange, slight off taste. Yikes.

Mouthfeel - To begin with, this stout is extremely thin. On top of that, there is something wrong with all their beers, they produce a burning feeling in the throat.

Overall - Not good. Although I am not certain of the style, I added this as an Irish Dry Stout given the very thin body and it's resemblance to a bad pour of Guinness.

I will return to Fixture only because this was their first batch of brews. I'll give them a little time to get dialed in, but they really have a long way to go.
