Compass Creek Black Balled Stout

Formerly brewed at Compass Creek Steakhouse & Brewing Co.
Style: Stout
Rancho Cucamonga, California USA

Fruity malt and roastiness very well defined in both flavor and aroma. Nice chocolaty coffee nuances and a well rounded hop citric bitterness make this a first rate stout. Slight sourness just spoils a little in the aftertaste, but doesn’t take away the enjoyment.

Black body with a nice off-white head atop it. Toasted coffee notes in the nose. Chocolate and cocoa on the tongue with a bitterness that is noticable on the sides of the tongue. Some bittersweetness toward the back of the tongue that leaves a bit of dryness. Tasty brew.
