Commercial Description:
This ale is as dark as Germany's Black Forest. There, our little Heinzelmännchen friends sought out dwellings vacated by their larger animal companions, then sipped on this smooth ale and stretched out to enjoy the rustling winds of the pine forest. Black Forest Stout, with it’s balanced roasted barley and caramel flavors and thick head deserve contemplation and savoring.

Not bad. Pours out a deep brown color with a beige head. Aroma is malty and some what sweet. Flavor is very pleasant with hints of malt and coffee, and choco. Overall not a bad brew at all

Pours a dark brown/black with a medium off white head. Smells of mild roast and dark malts. Nothing exciting really, about as basic as it gets. The flavor was quite mellow, a little chocolate bitterness with a malty sweet aftertaste. middle of the road is the best way I can describe it. Medium bodied and lacking in some distinct flavors. Average.

Draught. Pours on the black side of mahogany with a very fast-fading light beige head. The aroma is caramel, charcoal, some sticky wood notes, and cold coffee. The flavor has a shocking quantity of hops that I would usually associate with a German lager. There are some sweet toffee notes and a bit of diacetyl. The finish is ashy. I’m not really impressed.

Draught at Nick & Nate’s. Pours a dark brown with a minimal white head. The body is not quite opaque, some light comes through and makes it appear a little red. There is minimal roastiness in the aroma with some nuttiness. Sweet almonds and a bit of coffee with a touch of diacetyl are in the mix. This is quite drinkable, but reminds me more of a solid, slightly roasty brown ale than a stout. The alcohol content seems pretty low, but not due to state laws since NC "popped the cap" on August 13, 2005.

Tap. Molasses malt aroma. Dark black-brown color with small head. Smooth chocolate-coffee malt flavor - easy drinking with next to no bitterness. A fairly light stout but one I could drink all day - doesn’t sit heavy on you like some stouts.

On tap at the brewery. Dark, dark brown. Medium to medium light bodied. Very roasty, very dry, very creosotic, mildly acidic. Light creosote aroma. Coffee finish. Porterish, schwarzish. I was about to buy a growler of this, untasted, to haul back to my beer buddies, but I’m glad I didn’t. This beer needs work.
