Cask in Hamden as "West Rock Stout": Aroma of hops, pine, chocolate malts, and roasting. Poured very dark brown in color with a big, dense, creamy, beige head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Flavor of burnt malts, chocolate, roasting, and licorice. Medium body. Thin, watery, dry texture. Soft carbonation. Bitter, burnt malt finish.

The most watery stout I have ever tried, but I still liked it. Clean, nice roasted flavor. Thin, but not bad, especially for their $2 happy hour pints.

(On tap in Hamden, called "West Rock Stout") Somewhat bitter, fairly roasted. At the same itme, a bit creamy, but also a bit thin. Better than some commercial macro-brewed stouts, but less good than an average micro-brewed stout. An unpleasant sourness emerges after drinking the whole beer.

Hardly a stout. More like water with charcoal roasted caramel mocha mix. absolute swill with no body what so ever.

On tap at the Southport location. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of stronger roast, chocolate and coffee. Tastes of roast, chocolate with a light coffee finish.
