Bar Harbor Cadillac Mountain Stout

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

Medium brown/ruby red pour with tan head and lace. Medium roasted malt that hints of chocolate. Light to medium hop bitter. Large coffee and roasted malt. Medium bodied a tad thin. Very nice beer.

This poured dark brown/black in color with a moderate light brown head. This had quite nice aromas of chocolate, rich coffee, sweet caramel and vanilla. In the mouth this was medium-bodied and started off powerful then faded to a dry/bitter finish. The midpalate lacked concentration and flavor though this should have been expected given the alcohol level.

esta la compre en portland maine y me la tome en sibar. es una buena stout, un poco menos caramelo y mas hop y esto la hace mas tipo dark ale, mi tipo

22 oz bottle courtesy of mcox90. Pour is brown black ruby with a tan nose. Aroma of milk chocolate, dusty dry roast and leafy tobacco. Taste is sweet malt, roast and the lactic milkiness. Interesting, smooth and well made. Thanks for sending this my way, Michael.

everything from Bar Harbor Brewing Company is great. Brewery tours available too.

Thanks to Ross for sharing this one. Pours black with a firm tan head. Aroma of roast malt, some chocolate and a touch of coffee. Smooth palate that delivers a slightly sweet, roasty flavor. Very decent for it’s age and alcohol content.

I did a side by side tasting of this beer. The new mass produced 12 oz version and the 22 oz hand crafted version. I rated the 22 oz version. The version that made this stout popular.

12 oz

Bottle pours pitch black with tan head. Has 1 dimensional aroma featuring a slight malt base. Has a medium light body. Its a bit thin for a stout. Flavor is somewhat hoppy and has malt flavor that is somewhat boring. Overall this version is just an ok brew. Not much to talk about really. This version would get a rating no more than a 3.1 or 3.2

22 oz

Bottle pours pitch black with thick tan head. Has a wonderful aroma of sweet roasted malts and chocolate. Very complex. Has a medium body and is much fuller compared to the 12 oz version. Flavor is smooth and roasty. Dark malts, chocolate, caramel, coffee, toffee, and just tasty goodness. Overall, this is one of the best dry stouts I’ve tried. I’m glad I got to taste the mass produced version and the version that made this such a popular stout. Its truely world class.
