Had on-tap at Claimstake Brewing in Rancho Cordova, CA
Appearance - Served up in a willi pint, black / dark cola brown where light can penetrate, with tan suds forming a few broken islands on the surface and a fair ring around the edge of the glass. Nice lacing, with some thin sheeting and webbing, lines and small spotting.
Smell - Classic American stout aroma of roast, chocolate and lesser earth.
Taste - Starts off with milk chocolate and fair roast, but the roast takes control quickly and then dark chocolate emerges by mid-taste. Earthen coffee ground bitterness comes in at the finish, then fades and allows notes of chocolatey sweetness to linger with it in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with fair carbonation. Slick, easy drinker before a slightly dry, sticky finish.
Overall - This "basic ass stout with no adjuncts", as the board says, is more bad ass than basic. Shades of Deschutes Obsidian, though doesn't quite hit the depths of the latter. I've been begging for something like this as a reprieve from the onslaught of dessert stouts that have flooded the market. Leave it to Claimstake to come through.
