Hal and Mals Trophy Buck Stout

Formerly brewed at Hal and Mals
Style: Stout
Jackson, Mississippi USA

I could detect very little aroma; very dark, as you'd expect from a stout; definite coffee taste

Great mocha and cream aroma, unfortunately the beer didn't deliver what the smell promised. Flat, milky palate that needs more CO2 or hops or bitter malt or something. Pitch with camel head. Lactose sweet and only moderately bitter. Decent, but lacking character and too one-dimensional in the lactose sweet department. Nothing like Guiness, as the commercial desc suggests.

Nice flavor, very similar to Guinness. Think and chocolatey. Will drink again. Even better this time. A more complex and thicker chocolatey flavor. Almost like Young's double chocolate stout. Much better than last time with the flavor suddenly tasting unlike Guinness in a draught can.
