BridgePort Black Strap Stout

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

Not quite black, but dark, dark brown with medium head. Roasted malt and slight chocolate aroma. Very full-flavored stout for 6%. Raw roasted malt and creamy chocolate. Very dry and slightly bitter finish. Nice beer from an under-appreciated brewery.

Pours a dark black color with a hint of ruby. Aroma is nice and rich, dark, and sweet of lots of malt. Flavor is rich with caramel, molasses, coffee, chocolate, roast flavor and a slight hop bitterness, too. 12 oz. bottle @ Flying Saucer, Ft. Worth.

12 oz. bottle - pours thin and dark brown; cream colored head along the edges; soapy and roasty aromas; thin body and flavors are very bland; carbonation a little over-powering

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was a good stout with rich roasty flavors of malt and choclate.

black pour with a thin khaki head that doesn’t last long. chocolate and thick roasted malts on the nose. dark chocolate taste and a good thickness. not a bad beer at all.

Black in color with an ok tan head. Aromas of coffe, roasted notes, and chocolate. Taste is much like the aromas. Nice aftertaste. Medium body.

Ok, these guys get it, just because you are an American micro brewery doesn’t mean you have to go overkill on the hops. Malty and has that coffee flavor you expect from a stout. Not an outstanding stout but better to me than some of the more hyped stouts with higher ratings.

Mar. 2007 - Dark, dark as night, decent head and lacing. Aroma was roast. Very dry flavor, with some roastiness and burnt malt flavor. A little thin in the mouthfeel, but not bad.
