Tap. Roast chocolate aroma is deep and malt accented. Flat black with a damn firm and lasting creamy light tan head. Creamy chocolate accented fore. Very mild roast notes. Smooth and creamy and fairly thick of body, but little flavor range and intensity. Still a very pleasing beer as far as the feel and narrow base flavors. Could be so much more, but then again it could try to be so much more and fail and thereby be so much worse than it is. Has the base flavor and feel down pat but lacks the proper flavor concentration to make it unique. Well made just a little boring.

I suppose this is the yearly "dark" variety at the Sandlot Brewery at Coors Field (the others like the Dunkel-Weisen, Rauchbier, and Swarzbier are gone).
Essentially tastes like what you'd expect, unfortunately. It's just Coors' take on an Irish dry stout. While obviously designed for warm sunny days at the ballgame, everything just feels way too mild. I don't want to say it tastes watered down, as it really doesn't...but it just seems like they took a Guinness and subdued all the flavorness and slight bitterness.
In appearance it looks like a typical stout, but not as dark. More of a brownish color like a stout mixed 50/50 with a brown ale. You shouldn't really be able to see through a typical stout, but with the slugger you can.
No real finish to this beer shockingly. When you swallow - that's that.
Smell is actually it's strong suit - it smells very much like a typical dry stout...maybe even a little better.
Not sure of the ABV, but I'd guess it's 3.2 (like everything there) to keep the ballpark hijinks low, and because the state carries so many 3.2 brews due to blue laws. At the same time, I'm not sure you want a heavy stout with high alcohol on a summer day anyway.
I hope that next year's attempt at a dark beer is a little better as I came away from this one disappointed.
