Flying Monkey Four Finger Stout

Brewed by Flying Monkey Brewing
Style: Dry Stout
Olathe, Kansas USA

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is smoked malt with a mild chocolate and coffee bit. Flavor is smokey and full of roast with just a touch of sweetness. Good flavor and pretty darn good.

12 oz bottle courtesy of theisti. Pours a jet black with a tan head. Nose is roasted malt & coffee. Smooth, well bodied palate with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Taste is roasted malt with some bitter burnt coffee coming out midway thru. Also flavor of semi sweet bakers chocolate. Bitter finish.

12 oz bottle from Lukas Liquor Superstore. Pours black with a small dark tan head that dissipates quickly and remains slightly lacy. Not quite a four finger width head. Smells of burnt roasted malts, sweet cherry chocolate, some bitter hops, and some mocha. Not a bad smelling smout. Feels and tastes slightly watered down with a thin body. Taste of sweet cherry chocolate again, roasty, kind of acidic but not citrusy, more of an oatmeal stout flavor/feel. Very dry finish with a lingering light bitterness. Overall, a little watery, but not a bad stout. Again, I compared it to an oatmeal stout, but it does have more taste than some of the generic oatmeal stouts I’ve had. Not a bad beer.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is rich and yummy with molasses, rich roastiness, some smoky qualities and a bit of burnt malts. The taste is roasty to burnt with an under current of chocolate malts. There’s a mild malt astringency along with an earthy quality both coming together to add an extra dimension to the experience. Very nice stout.

I didn’t expect much but I really enjoyed this. The aroma is lightly smoky with ample roasted malt and coffee accents. The flavor is define by those roasted notes and gives up the expected chocolate/coffee and burnt malt flavors. Simple and narrow in flavor profile, but satisfying if you have a roasted malt tooth. Which I do. Much better than anticipated.

Bottle courtesy CigarCityBrew. Pours black with a one finger tan head that fades leaving some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and bitter chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

Thanks unclemike. Another state bites the dust. Black pour with minimal head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Taste is very malted with a little hop finish.

bottle thanks to unclemike. Pours a black color with a big bubbled dark tan head. Aroma is verty toasty malt and very much coffee. And the taste is a dry coffee flavor with some dry hop/malt in the background. Carbonation is right, mouthfeel is a bit watery. Still a fun beer to drink.
