Dix Winter Stout

Dark brown colour. Aroma of coffee, raisin, fruitcake. Thin, slightly coffeeish body. Slight tartness in the finish.

Pitch black with a thin dark brown head. Faint aroma of caramel, dark chocolate and a touch of coffee. Flavour shows caramel sweetness up front, and a long bitter and roasty finish. Not really bad, but with an ABV as high as this, it needs way more complexity. As it warms, there is a bit of an alcoholic taste. The roastiness never seems harsh, but the body was a bit thin. The brewpub alternates between calling this an Imperial stout and a winter stout. It is definitely the latter and not the former.

Black colour with lingering dark head. mild malt nose. good raost malt taste but a little to thin.

Black with lasting tan head. Light roasted nose.Good roasted malt flavor with decent body
