Cadillac Mountain Stout
Atlantic Brewing Company - Town Hill / Mainely Meat BBQ

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance - Served a pitch black color with a one finger head of tan head. The head fades slowly over time leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma is strong of a caramel and creme mixed with smells of molasses and brown sugar. There is a bit of roast and some chocolate, with a touch of roast and toast.
Taste - The taste begins with a moderatly sweet creme and brown sugar taste with a good showing of roast and toast. As the taste advances so too does the sweet, with notes of cocoa joining in. Toward the end some coffee joins in, leaving one with a moderatly sweet and roasty taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel - The body is slightly thicker and creamier with a moderate carbonation level. Good for the style and taste. A good feel overall.
Overall - A nice stout overall. A bit one the sweeter side for a dry Irish, but good none the less.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Cadallac Mountain Stout is listed as a Dry Irish, so I poured like I would a Guiness. It has a nice rocky brown head with a great armoma of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. The pallate is coffee forward with chocolate and malt following just below the surface. As the taste progresses, it finishes with a touch of bitterness and clove. Mouthfeel is light for a stout making this easy to drink. Atlantic Brewing have made an outstanding pint, and standard for its style! sláinte

Dark as ink with a thick tan to brown head. Nose is coffee and chocolate and malt. Taste is sweet and then slightly bitter. Some coffee notes on palate. Mellows to a chocolate flavor.

 

Reminds me of coffee, chocolate and tobacco. Mellows out with some round vaguely caramel and vanilla-like flavors mixing into the chocolate after you sip. Not really that much bitterness, although there's enough.

 

I haven’t had this beers for years.
Great to revisit.
Dark chocolate brown color with a 4F head in a Stone Imperial pint glass.

Heavy roasted malt aroma/taste with a little chocolate as the beer warms up.

Smooth finish. Will revisit.

 

4/29/23 very well done. Roasted malt, coffee forward, smooth. Head dissipates quickly. Would like to do a head to head vs Guinness.

 

 

Came upon this when ordering from Craft Beer Cellar. I love complex coffee-forward beers so this sounded like a good choice. I had to drink from the can so I won’t be able to comment on the color, head or lacing.
Even from the can I can smell a roast coffee, dark cherry and cocoa.
The taste is much complex than what I got from the smell. A combination of dark chocolate and roast coffee, toast, leather and a bit of ash as it wamrs.
Mouthfeel is of a medium body with moderate carbonation that is extremely smooth.
I will definitely be ordering this again. Listed as a Irish Dry Stout I can see why it’s rated

 

 

 

Time to knock out another style topper! Here we have the highest rated Irish Dry Stout on BA, and one that has apparently held similar titles for a long time per the notes "Cadillac Mtn. Stout was selected World Champion Dry Stout 1995 and the best hard-to-find beer in America by Men’s Journal." Cool shit. Let's see if it can live up to the expectations I've built up in my head after having this marked as a "want" for 3 years

Pours a muddy medium brown with a finger of tan head that slowly fades to a thin cap and leaves minimal lacing

As expected, the roast is very evident in the nose, but it is nicely balanced as well. I'm picking up on aromas of acidic coffee, dark toast, charred malt, toffee, sweet honey, herbal hops, and cocoa powder

It's also quite smooth in taste for the amount of roasted malt that's present. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting dark chocolate, medium roast coffee, burnt toast, caramel, herbal hops, and dark cherry. The swallow brings notes of acidic coffee, cocoa powder, earthy hops, dark toast, toffee, light raisin, and a touch of char

A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a roasty and slick beer. Finishes mostly dry and surprisingly refreshing

Yeah, this shit is awesome. Super easy drinking even for a style where drinkability is pretty important. Definitely deserving of its ranking. I think I'll have to stock up on more now that I found it

Lovely beer. Drank it at the brewery which was a great place in the woods. Not much head but lovely taste. Quite a coffee vibe going on.

Pours a dark brown color with ruby edges and a finger of beige head. The nose has roasty notes but also something sweet and almost toffee-like. Roasted malt is the feature of the flavor profile. The finish is gently bitter.

I could drink this offering all night. no wonder it's the #1 Irish Dry Stout.

 

Meh. Bitter
