Roast aroma. Black slightly rich on the palate and hoppy with some bitterness in a dry burnt roast finish. Dogbrick (2813), Columbus, Ohio, USA Aug 13, 2009 Sample at the Downtown location. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black with a thin tan head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Dark chocolate and coffee in the nose. Medium, glassy smooth body with flavors of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and sweet malt. The finish is roasty with a short mild coffee aftertaste. Above average overall. Pretty sure Capitol City’s Blackout existed before Great Lakes’, but I doubt anyone will ever think of this one first when they hear the name.

Roasted malt aroma. Medium body, quite dry mouthfeel, with a good coffee flavor. Good Stout. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Nov 14, 2007 Tap @ Capitol Hill location. Pours black with a thin and quickly dissipating head. Aroma is roasted malt, and the taste is roughly the same. It finishes up with a chocolate bitterness and a bit of an oily texture. Not bad, but not extraordinary. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Sep 14, 2008Date: 08/09/2000
