Dead Calm
Coelacanth Brewing

 

L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a dark brown / black color and an opaque consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, tan-colored head that lasted an average amount of time. Very good lacing.

S: A decent aroma of roasted malt, a creamy quality, chocolate, and lactose.

T: Tasted of a bit of the aforementioned creamy quality, some dark chocolate notes, lots of roasted malt, lactose (not too much), light hops (mostly in the finish). A very solid, but not mind-blowing, flavor that gets better as you go along. It has a definite subtlety that grows on you.

F: A fair amount of carbonation with a super smooth finish. Medium- to full-bodied.

O: A solidly made, easy to like stout. Not overpowering, but definitely likable.

 

Poured a black body with minimal tan head and little lace. The aroma is overpowered by booze but isn't bad as still get a little sweetness as well. The beer is boozy but alcohol is mostly hidden and is really smooth and easy for a high ABV stout. There is a lactic quality that is sweet and present throughout the beer and the beer finishes clean with a little spice.
