En fût. Verre de dégustation chez Gritty’s, établissement de Freeport. Arôme: Odeur de chocolat noir et de café. Apparence: La couleur est brune très foncé. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux avec une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café et de chocolat avec une pointe de vanille. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de torréfaction en arrière goût. (Rating #1805)

Huge dark beige, creamy head over nearly black beer. Very neutral nose, liquorice, molasses, smoked bark. Extremely dry taste, coffee grits, bark spices, charcoal, burnt. Background sweetness. Not bad in the matter of balance. Medium bodied at best, creamy texture. Pleasing taste, certainly for a light-meant stout.

For a stout this is pretty weak. It has a burnt malt scent and taste. This has quite a bit of carbonation in it for a stout. Not much flavor in it at all. Overall a pretty weak brew. Too bad, Gritty usually puts out some good stuff.

Pours dark brown with a thick brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, charred, on the weak side. Taste is roasted, some coffee, hops bitterness, malts and grains Does have some sweetness close to lactose. Beer leaves a dry mouthfeel overtaking most of the actual taste.

bottle in Stowe,VT. Not my style of stout at all. Black pour with an enormous brown head. Aromas are roasted malt and some chocolate. Flavor is dry, dry, dry. Almost a tart chcolate flavor. Bitter hops are present too. Not a favorite.
