Crushed with Jakebra. Smells very nice. Chocolate, maltiness. Flavor is boring and way watery. After 3 of these brews, I surmise that Hub City Brewery is going nowhere. Bummer.

(12oz bottle, thanks General Gao) Large tan head atop black body with dark brown edges. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee/roast, some chocolate, light oatmeal. Taste is medium sweet, roast/coffee, light chocolate, oatmeal, burnt. Light-medium body, light acidity.

Darker brown color. Chocolatey aroma with some roast and milkiness. Creamy flavor with some chocolate, sugar, and coffee. Smooth feel. Decent stout.

<i>12 oz. bottle.</i> Well, hey there. I just now discovered this new Iowa brewer that’s packaging for retail. All right. How’s the beer?<br />Nice roasty malt aroma from over a foot away when poured, with some light coffee and cocoa note. Black body, thin dwindling head—just not that easy to get a good pour from a bottled stout with no Widget. First taste impression is that it lacks the velvety smoothness of a cask oatmeal stout, having been force carbonated. After that, shows a nice stout, more to the dry side, with a bit of sourness, strong coffee overall. Probably a touch more alcohol than a session stout. Very good early effort shows some room for improvement that I hope they’ll work on.

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours quite black with a small dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted and burnt malts. Flavor is pretty similar with a sweet finish. Not too complex but drinkable and tasty.
