dpjuart (500), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2008 draft sample at brewpub. Pours black with red hues and khaki head. Roasty nose. taste is dark roasted malt , a bit thin, with some lactose and chocolate flavor. Rather sweet, mild hop bitter, maybe moderate. Note a bad stout. Tasty. CaptainCougar (4596), Rockville, Maryland, USA Aug 19, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 4/9/07: Pours an opaque black with a half inch thick airy, wispy-lacing tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel and milk chocolate malt. Body starts fairly full, sweet, and roasty with a touch of earthy grain toward a lightly bittersweet chocolate finish. A nice stout. Frauditor (115), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Mar 31, 2007 i haven’t had many stouts to compare this to but i’ll do my best with my review. This beer kicks serious butt! I drink this one in between Catoctin clears at the brew pub after the grotto meeting ends. sometimes i can taste the stout when i know the meeting is close to being over. Great dark chocolately taste. not too filling but i usually dont eat before the meetings so a cement truck couldn’t fill me up. Smells wonderful - the girls at barley and hops got it right with this brew. Braudog (3461), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Feb 20, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub. Dark black with an ice-mocha-tan head. Smoky lactic aroma. Bit thin bodied but well flavored ... hint of smoke, bit sweet , bit tart for a stout. My wife liked it more than I did. (#2711, 2/18/07) Ungstrup (10801), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 1, 2007 Draft at the brewpub, July 2006. A dark brwon beer with a red shine under a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is very light - too light for my liking, with notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong roasted notes, as well as notes of berries, before a somewhat dry end sets in. The mouthfeel is very smooth. I’d like a stronger roasted character.
