On draught at Shores Inn in St. Clair Shores. Have had this a million times, but have never gotten around to rating it. Pours dark brown/black with big creamy tan head. Aroma not very strong, of roasted malt and a tinge of coffee. Taste of burnt/roasted malt, coffee, mild hops. Mouthfeel creamy yet finishes a bit watery. An OK stout, and a good gateway back in the day, to open the door to other stouts. A stepping stone to more adventurous stuff.

(Bottle). Light semi-sweet malty aroma. Black body, creamy beige head. Flavor is very mild, somewhat sweet, watery, cardboard-ish. Not unpleasant, but far too thin and watery.

Had this from every medium imaginable. Poured an obsidian black with a creamy off white head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with a dry crisp finish.

Bottle can nitro tap keg you name it we’ve all had it. Probably the beer i’ve drank the most of including all the car bombs. This beer is legendary. A dark black cascading beautiful body that looks like it was brewed especially for you. Sweet malty with some chocolate then a bitter nutty coffee finish. I love this beer for its sheer simplicity and drinkablity. This may have been the beer that introduced me to stouts one of my if not my favorite style of beer and for that i will show my praise.

Bottled with nitro tab. Shared a few of these with friends. Very light malt aroma and roasty flavor on the tongue. These is an easy to drink easy to go to stout. We were in the mountains at a dive bar with nothing on tap, but they had this in bottle and its always consistent!

Frequent pick at the store. Nice easy drinking stout. Roast character some hops. Needs to be warm to bring out the other character.
