Carlton Sheaf Stout

Brewed by Carlton & United Breweries (CUB)
Style: Foreign Stout
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Black with a thin off white head. Aroma is lightly metallic, chocolate, coffee, roasty and with cream. Taste is chocolate, roasty, milk.

Tons of chocolate. Some coffee. Very milky. Opaque. Brown head. Great roasted malt flavor. Lots of body. Rich. I am a fan. Thick and sweet overall. Nice finish. Hearty beer.

Bottle from 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz. Dark but not opaque brown with a tan head. Aromas of cocoa powder and roasty malt. Flavor is of bittersweet chocolate coffee with a rather harsh roasted finish. Carbonation is very high and makes the mouthfeel subpar. Very average.

One of my favorite of the Australian brews. A nice fairly moderate bodied stout. Nice colour with a decent head. A good every day stout, but a bit pricier than most other beers.

Though my experience with stouts is somewhat limited, I really liked this beer. Chocolately, coffee smell, and an oily body. Very good for the price of $2.99 for 37 oz.

Bottle Poured black with thin tan head. Malty aroma. Flavour of coffee, malt and roast. Slight toffee notes. Medium coffee and bitterseeet finish. A good inexpensive workaday stout

Entirely not bad, but in the realm of stouts I must be somewhat spoiled, as this ends up falling a little short. Still, has all the right things in all the right places - a decent, dark, roasted aroma, handsome deep black in the glass. Quite light on the tongue, bitter on the finish - just not a lot of depth to it. When I drink a stout I expect it to be, well... stout.

bottle 1pt 11floz, supposedly good before Nov082006 consumed Dec 13 2007, still good might i add. pours a nice black body with brown head, tastes like is malty and hint of coffee and perhaps Anise??? not sure somethin in the back is off a bit.
