portermax55 (118), Canterbury, Connecticut, USA Jan 9, 2008 Growler into pint glass. Pours a deep, dark black with a light tan head that dissipates quickly. Heavy aromas of coffee, roasted malts, caramel and hints of butter. Flavor is of coffee beans, chocolate, and roasted malts with a hint of toffee and a highly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft. Very thirst quinching, and enjoyable. muzzlehatch (4424), Burlington, Vermont, USA Apr 13, 2004 Sample at the brewpub. Black. Lasting dark head. Weak coffee nose. Body initially creamy and reasonably full, but thins out quite a bit towards the end. Good bitter chocolate-coffee falvor, but just too light-bodied and dull for a stout. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA Dec 26, 2003 Black pouring liquid with medium tan head. Aroma is roasted chocolate maltiness. Typical tastes of a stout, chocolate, coffee and smoke flavors. A bit thin, but overall a nice beer. Drank this beer from a growler than my brother and I shared DYCSoccer17 (2036), Davis, California, USA Dec 26, 2003 Growler. Pours an opaque black with a nice sized tan head, which is slowly resolving. Aroma is the typical choco-coffee bouquet. Start is the same flavor as the aroma, which ends with some bitterness. Mild hoppy flavor towards the end as well. Could use a tad bit more body. All in all, a very good effort by Lake Placid.
