Carlton Sheaf Stout

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

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and chocolate, as well as light notes of soy sauce. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hard roasted malt as well as lighter notes of chocolate, oranges, and soy sauce, leading to a dry bitter and still malty end.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of highlandlad. Pours completely opaque black with a nice, beige head. Aroma of alcohol and roasted malt. Medium body, roasted malt accents and alcohol - surprisingly alcoholic considering its only moderate alcohol. Weak smoky touches. Almost no bitterness. 310507

Bottled. Black, brownish head. Chocolatey aroma. Sweet and creamy, yet with metallic mouthfeel and notes of blood. There some pleasant estery chocolate sauce in their as well, but the finish has more of the metal. A beer with some good qualities, but also some obviuos shortcomings.

Rating: 3.4/5.0
Score: **4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Near black colour. Chewy, slight roasty, slight raisiny malts with a hint of alcoholic undertones in the aroma. Tar-like, toffeeish, thick body. Chewy but bland, and probably too sweet.

Weak Worchestershire sauce like aroma, but full coffee flavor. Not as thick as other stouts, nor as bitter. Weak hop aroma and taste. Defintitely easy drinking, but not very stout. Typical of mass-produced beers. Not that it’s bad, but it has a lot of competition.

Motor oil in a bottle.

Bottled. Very dark reddish brown.. Light brown head. Sweetness, light roast, fruits and cocoa in the aroma. Flavour is sweet and roasty. Has some spice and cocoa. Is medium bodied. Dry. Light medical end.
