On tap at Basil T. Poured a dark black color with a off white head. Aromas and tastes of chocolate, and roasted malts. Has a nice coffee bitter finish. Nice clean and dry finish. My 1st beer at the brew pub and it turned out to be the best by far.

Pours a visibly viscous black colour with a medium, dense tan head that fades to a thin film. The nose is heavily roasted barley, ethyl lactate, butter, cream and pungent caramel. The flavour is a smooth blend of coffee, heavy cream, roasted malt and grain. The finish is mildly bitter with toasted bready malts and hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is decadantly creamy and gently carbonated, but perfect for the beer. Nice.

On tap at Andy’s. Black with a tan head. Roasty aroma. Flavor is light, yet full, with the dark malts exploding with a roasty dry coffee like flavor. This is a well done, easy drinking stout....

Dark mahogany. Creamy tan head. Light carbonation. Lovely burnt coffee aroma laced with chocolate. Medium thick body, notes of coffee, roasted barley, chocolate and oats. Slightly dry despite the wall of thick flavor. Smooth and solid all the way through. A winner of a brew.

On tap (co2) at the brewpub in red bank. Pours a nice black body with a long lasting tan head. Good lace as well. Aroma is of light roasted malts and some coffee, with bits of chocolate. Flavor is well balanced and loaded with flavor like burnt malts, chocolate, resh roasted coffee, and lightly hopppy in the end for a nice bitterness. The actual coffee that they added seemed very subtle compared to many other coffee stouts, but I think the small amount goes very well in this stout.

I really like Basil's stout. I am generally not a fan of Dry Stouts, but Basil's is very creamy and fantastic with one of their authentic italian desserts. I pour it on the Tiramisu. More burnt coffee than chocolate in this one. Nice lingering bitter aftertaste. Smooth, silkiness to finish.
