Bare Knuckle Stout

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Dry Stout
St. Louis, Missouri USA

On nitro tap. Poured a black color with a fluffy tan head. The aroma was roasty, with a bit of coffee present. The flavor was roasted malt, coffee and maybe some bitter chocolate.

Tap at Celebration Town Tavern in Celebration, Fla. Dark brown colored pour with thick dark brown head. Sweet, roasted malts aroma. Malty, watered, carbonated finish. Very average.

On tap at the A-B Colorado Brewery. Pours a dark black with a large tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of roasted malt, caramel and coffee. Is kind of sweet. Similar aroma. Easy to drink and goes down smooth. Overall, not a bad, beer.

On Nitro Tap. I have had 12 different beers today and this is the first one I have yet to rate. Pours the typical Nitro Stout. Rising brown head black body and sheets of lacing. Aroma of vanilla, Chocolate, roast, and leather. Overall the aroma is pretty weak and you have to search for those elements. Taste is vanilla, roast, chocolate, leather and plastic... Very drinkable. Slight burnt hairdryer taste as it warms. Smooth nitro tap mouthfeel as expected.

On tap, never heard of it before. It certainly has the look down, complete with cascading foam. Palate is nitrogen, for better or for worse. Light roastiness. Watery, to be sure, but still pretty decent as a light session stout.

I remember this one. Crushed it at a Celtic fest in Michigan a few months ago. On Tap. I think it was labled "Dark Beer" or something. I had to press some people to tell me what it actually was. Figures its from AB. Pours dark with a fake creamy head. Aroma is very light coffee, maybe some chocolate milk powder. Flavor is very thin, very weak coffee. Some plastic off flavors as well. Not good. I would not ever pay money to drink this again.

Tap at Zeke’s. Dark opaque black with artificially stable level of head. Lame metallic, bland aroma but no sourness. Has some cocoa in the back of the nose. Soft nitro mouthfeel. Roasty after the sweet entry. just drinkable

Dark brown with a thick, artificial head. Faint aroma is thin, spent coffee grounds, not much else. Light chocolate taste but this does not have pleasurable flavours and the nitro seems to mute anything positive that may otherwise be lurking.
