Bar Harbor Cadillac Mountain Stout

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

Pours out black and leaves an excellent tan head and lacing behind. Smell was nice and roasty, plenty of cocoa as well. As I dug deeper I found remnants of earth, and a bit of some sort of a berry. Taste was earthy, sweet and definately roasty, but just didn’t seem all that awesome to me (older bottle?). Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry roasty finish. Drinkability is fine, but didn’t keep bringing me back for more. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way for this one again.

This beer poured a blackish tan into a pint glass with zero light shining through. A vigorous pour resulted in several inches of thick, tan foam which slowly gave way to a ring of foam around the top of the beer. Not much lacing. Aromas are not that strong, but I do have a bit of a cold and am not picking up subtle aromas that I might otherwise smell. Even so, I pick up some chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is excellent. Roasted malts, hints of bittersweet chocolate and a slight bit of fruitiness rounds out the flavor. It is very well balanced. Mouthfeel is exceptional. Rich and thick but not syrupy or viscous. Slight carbonation cleanses the palate and leaves you wanting more.

Pours pitch black with a one inch tan head that showed great retention and a bit of lacing. Smell is dominated by roasted coffee with a strong presence of sweet roasted malts and dark chocolate. There are also some dark fruits in the nose, but very subtle along with some vanilla. Taste follows the smell pretty consistently with a strong sweet malt blast up front with fresh roasted coffee and dark chocolate in the mix as well. Mouthfeel is luxuriant for a stout - creamy and smooth with the perfect amount of carbonation. Exceptional mouthfeel. This is one of the best dry stouts I have ever tasted and can hold a candle with some of the best impy stouts I’ve had. Get your hands on this if you can.

Thanks to BrianK for introducing me to beer trading as this was his first trade, i only aiding in the financial aspect, i guess that was almost a year ago now. Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a 2 finger light brown head. Aroma is sweet chocolate malt, somewhat roasty, with little detectable etoh. Flavor is sweet with chocolate yet creamy and some vanilla and finishes bittersweet. Great!

22 oz bomber purchased on a weekend trip to Maine. Pours a dark brown ( almost black ) with ruby edges. Two finger creamy tan head with good lacing. Nose is malt, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Mouthfeel is just about right. Heavy enough to be noticable, but not thick and oily. A little more carbonation than you usually think for a stout. Taste was a wonderful mix of malt, semi sweet chocolate, coffee, a hint of vanilla, & even a small hop presence. A very well balanced brew. As one of my fellow raters said " it doesn’t try to be to big". That hits it right on the money. Terrific brew.

Got this bottle on vacation. very dark, with modesy creamy tan head. Scents of malts and tar. For me the level of carbonation is just right but of course high for a stout, and it helps balance out the sweetness. Some vanilla notes

bottle, dark brown to black color, no head to speak of, bright, hoppy and a dry finish

Bomber courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks Pete! Pour is black with a small, but creamy, brown head. Aroma is faint. Roasted malt and chocolate for the most part. Very roasty flavor, but a tad thin. Fairly bitter as well. Decent beer, probably past its time.
