Moose Juice Stout, what a name! This stout pours like most; dark brown, settles solid black in the glass. A strong pour produced a finger high dark cocoa brown, foamy, uniformly bubbled head with a bit of a rocky top that faded slowly to a thin ring and some stringy patches of lace. Looks damn good. How's it smell? Wiff in....ahhh, nice sweet chocolate, sorta dark and chocolate milkish; cocoa, a bit of burntness of cookies, some coffee, and notes of hazelnuts. How's it taste? Sip, gulp....Oh well, the smell doesn't transfer as strong as I wanted; not nearly enough. Its quite quick and thin of chocolate and cocoa, slight roastyness and a faint light nudge of coffee with some burntness character attributed to the middle and a coffee-like dryness mixed with a solid little hop bite in the finish that lingers a bit. But its over far to fast. Although...this stout likes to change character quickly as it warms, it goes through a bit of transformation from thin to more of a bolder quality and finishing a bit stronger as well. But not enough to enhance the experience any. Feel is smooth and creamy and a bit thin of a lighter medium body that gains some momentum into the finish and a dot more as it warms. This stuff goes down very easy, its very drinkable! To bad it doesn't pack a bit more flavorful punch. But, as-for-mentioned, it gets a bit more noticeable subtleness to its flavors and feel as it warms. My suggestion is to let it breath a bit before diving in. A smidgen better at a warmer temp.

Dark, ok head, coffee and bakers chocolatey notes. Dry finish like a mouthful of cotton. Drinkable.

Looks like a stout. Smells like a stout. Tastes like a stout. It must be a stout - and a good one at that!

Bottled. Not bad. Had worse. Had better. Good roast flavor that got a little bitter in the finish.

This is an Okay stout. Not as much flavor I'd like. Hop beerness comes through on the taste. A little chocolate flavor and a less roasted flavor. A dry bitter finish.

Another good beer courtesy of beerguy101. This one poured a glacial black with a tiny but super dark brown and orange head that left its slushiness all over my glass. The aroma is very weak...pleasant, but very tough to decipher. Roasted malt and chocolate predominate...oh wait...i just stuck my nose into the head..thats why it predominates. The taste is very light bodied. Thinly spread chocolate malts caress the tongue and grow stronger given the dry hopped ending given by the chinook hops. Excellent contrast between malt and hops...nice bittering and a good use of chocolate malts. A bit thin upfront and in the aroma but well made up for. The carbonation level is moderate for a stout. Pretty yummy if i dont say so myself.

Pours deep and dark brown with a nice light tan head. Aroma of roasted and caramel malts blends well with the malty profile. A good thick roasty stout.

A bit watery. Strain with a clean palate and you’ll find some roasted malts and an itty bitty creamy feel. I hear that they aren’t producing this one anymore.
