Apr 20, 2009 I am a big fan of the folks at Bear Republic. This is a great American stout, which does not appear to suffer from the inconsistency that marks some of Bear Republic’s other efforts.
Pours deep brown/black, with a smallish tan head. High ABV is not apparent upon taste, but manifests itself somewhat later. It’s Guinness in a bad mood, frankly -- and I mean that as a compliment. Solid, solid effort.

Apr 17, 2009 poured it into a pint glass and was impressed with the rich dark color and an inviting off white creamy foam. pleasent, non-intrusive aroma. no bitter after taste and is smooth for the palate. taste of molasses and toffee, very pleasent. great overall beer.

Apr 15, 2009 Although the aroma is lacking a bit, the flavor is big. Molasses, dark toffee, roasted coffee, and brown sugar are most prevalent. Aroma is a bit weak, with only small hints of the flavor coming through. Finish is moderately bitter with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. A nice stout overall.

Apr 14, 2009 Pours from the tap to a pretty chocolate brown with a thick tan head that lingers well and leaves good lacing. Unfortunately, the rest of the beer did not quite live up to the appearance. Nose and taste were both a sweet chocolate-toffee, but were also slightly muted. The really dissappointing feature was the mouthfeel for this thin-boided beer, which unfortunately led to a short watery finish.
Not a bad beer, but not more of a chocolate stout than an Impy, and for that, I’ll take Rogue.

Apr 12, 2009 Black chocolatey pour, no head, and light lace. Alcoholic nutty aroma. Thick, nutty and smokey, not bad but a little flat. Alcohol comes out strongly, A little bit of sour comes in at the end. Slightly disappointing, but greatly improved as it warmed.

Apr 12, 2009 Bomber. Pours a nice, dark, rich color, with nigh on a full finger of solid, light yellowish-brown head. Aroma is a bit muted, but roasted malt and cream. Flavor is solid, though not as full as I had hoped, dare I say Guiness-esque? Notes of molasses and sweet sugar are present. Almost no finish, and the alcohol is hard to detect. It’s a fine brew, but not as strong as I like in an Imperial.

Apr 4, 2009 Bottle. Poured a very dark brown with a small tan head. Good lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, and a slight sweetness. Flavor was pretty much like the aroma... Seemed a ’little’ thin compared to other stouts. But I really liked this one. It just seemed to come together ’right’.

Apr 3, 2009 Pours brownish/black with thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Taste of minimal chocoalte and coffee. Was good but disappointing because I was expecting more. Light mouthfeel for the style.
