BridgePort Black Strap Stout

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Dry Stout
Portland, Oregon USA

pours out a black color with a tan head. aroma is malty and roasted choco scent. Flavor is nice with a creamy sweet flavor with a good roasted malt finish. over all a ncie brew.

Tastes like a roasted coffee/chocolate milkshake without the milk. I bet if you made beer floats with this stuff it would be SICK. Not like sick in a bad way, but more along the lines of how the "kids" are using it. What I mean is, really good.

Looks delicious. Pours a deep black with copper highlights and thin creamy head. Head is perfect for a stout - thin with small bubbles and very lacy head. Pretty much no aroma which is somewhat to style but would like to have something there. Flavor has some kind of a soapy taste in the background that lingers into the aftertaste. I don’t know how to identify it but it is a soap kind of taste. Aside from that tastes great.

Present from my son, Enniskillen! Nose is of a small amount of molasses, with some chocolate notes thrown in along with some roastiness; Very dark but transparent brown with a small tan head; flavor is semi sweet with some mild molasses and background cocoa and coffee notes.

Purchased at my neighborhood bottle store. Pours a deep dark brown and man canI smell the roasted maltiness right away. A very nice beer and this was a smooth chocolatey,roasted flavor that I was happy to be drinking.

My kind of stout: not too sweet like a milk stout and not too dry like a Guiness. I was doubtful of the molasses - I thought the beer would taste fake: too sweet, carbonated and alcoholic. Instead, the roasted sweetness is augmented by the molasses and the dark flavors of coffee are enhanced. A good stout to pass away the football season.

Bottle... Near black ale with a ruby hue and a small, frothy, khaki head. Subtle aromas of sassafras, cocoa and vanilla. Slightly lactic. Perfectly balanced flavor. Chocolaty and just a smidge tangy with good roastiness and bitterness. Medium-bodied and fizzy. Chocolaty, lightly bitter finish. Kudos to growler for sharing the bottle!

Very dark brown with a quickly fading head. To me, the aroma is of dishwater, with hints of rose. It is somewhat medicinal, perhaps a little like cherry-flavored robitussin. The flavor itself is much better, though. As a dry stout goes, it is very well-balanced with dryness - rich minerals and yet it is still creamy and refreshing. A decent dry stout, but it lacks some important nuances.
