Bar Harbor Cadillac Mountain Stout

Brewed by Bar Harbor Brewing Company (Atlantic Brewing Company)
Style: Dry Stout
Bar Harbor, Maine USA

2/02/2008: Cadillac Mountain Stout has a thick and creamy mocha-colored head that sits on top of the very dark brown-colored beer like whipped cream. The aroma is slightly dry and contains a nice blend of semi-sweet chocoate, weak coffee, roasted malt, and even a touch fo char. The flavor has a fairly rich blend of caramelized and roasted malt with some dark fruit in the background. The finish is more dry than the main flavor and has just a touch of bitterness and a nice roasted malt/mocha (more coffee-ish though) flavor. The body is medium-full and creamy and goes down really smoothly. This is a fine example of a Dry Stout at an excellent price (only $3.99+tx)!

1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle (Brew #01935) from porterhouse. Thanks Kevin. Rating #190 for this beer...

Thanks to mkgrenwel fot the bottle. Dark brown pour with a medium head. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit (prunes and figs) and dark malt. A little chocolate in the taste, but oh so dry. Medium-heavy body. Finishes dry with a little bitter hops.

22oz bottle, courtesy of zathrus13. Thanks, Jeff! Pours a very dark, cherry cola color; khaki colored head with great retention and lacing, coating the glass. Pleasant amounts of cocoa and nougat in the aroma; plenty of chocolate. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of milk chocolate, cocoa, and nougat upfront; a fair amount of sweetness; minimal hop bitterness surrounding the whole thing, but a reasonably tasty maltiness. Lengthy, milk chocolate and cocoa in the finish; a bit chalky.

Provided by kmweaver. Dark brown body with a small beige head. The nose is fairly dry bakers chocolate with some light dark fruits and light molasses. The flavor is lightly sweet with caramel, chocolate and raisins. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Decent.

A bit over flavoered in the vannilla department, so unexpected.Smooth tecture but bitter semi-sweet chocolate finish.

Pours opaque black with mahogany hue and a tan frothy head that dies pretty quick. Nose is roasty with chocolate, a hint of coffee and a vanilla bean scent. Taste is nice and roasty, chocolate and bakers chocolate and a vanilla/toffee like finish with a little bitterness. Velvet in the mouth and not syrupy in any way. Nice carbonation. This is somewhat porter like in feel but has a lot of delicious stout taste. A perfect balance of flavor and body and a delight to sip. Could do another!

22oz Bomber Recieved this bottle from scthaden, thank you. Cadillac Mountain Stout pours absolute black. When directly backlit deep mahogany highlights extend through the body. As I pour a one finger beige head forms and eventually falls to a generous crown. Leaves spotty lacing here and there. The nose is a little faint on this one. The malts are on the border of being roasted and there’s a generous helping of cocoa powder. A lactic creaminess comes around with each swirl of the glass. This bottle actually smells like it may still be a little green. The flavor is far superior to the aroma. The grains are roasted just to the point being slightly bitter. Coffee grounds add a touch of bitterness as well. The creaminess comes through mid-palate along with a mild dark fruitiness and the cocoa powder. I even seem to pick up a pinch of nuttiness on the finish. As this beer warms the complexities continue coming forward. An excellent tasting stout. This is a medium bodied stout with a silky smooth mouthfeel. Glides through the mouth effortlessly. Finishes slightly dry letting some of the coffee ground and roasty bitterness shine through. This is a stout you could sit down with and enjoy all night. A tasty stout I can’t see myself tiring of. I’m glad I was finally able to try this beer. I’ve been eyeing it up for awhile now and was finally able to set up a trade. A beer I’d pick up often if locally available. Thanks for the opportunity Shannon. 12/14/07

Black colour with a small dense tan head. Light roasted, coffee bitter aroma with fruity notes. Malty, fruity and light roasted flavor with a dry, light bitter finish.
