Jan 21, 2007 Pours a deep black with about a quarter inch of tan foam. Okay head retention and lacing. Roasted grain is prominent in the aroma, accompanied by a bit of bitter coffee.
This is a nice dry stout, with roasted grains that are not overdone and likewise not lacking. A little bit of coffee and chocolate flavors are in there too. Well rounded. The beer is smooth and nicely carbonated. The body is very good for the style, not too full, and not thin or watery like some brewpub stouts I have tried.

Dec 27, 2006 On tap at the brewpub, this was called Thompson’s Dry Stout. The body was black with a light brown head. The aroma was chocolate with some coffee and sweet potatoes. The taste was day old coffee with some hay and a little bit of apple core in the finish. This was another bland and boring McCoy’s beer.

Dec 5, 2006 Tap at the brew pub (KC). Nice pour, dark black with tan head that stuck around for the full sampler. Smooth roast flavor, with a bit of sweetness in the finish. Def nitro pushed, giving it a bit of an odd body.

Oct 28, 2006 Draught pint at the St Louis Park, MN location, October 8 2006. A thin wisp of nitro-head lasts atop the dark chocolate body....cocoa-anise aroma, like a dry flourless chocolate cake, lightly roasty....the body is fairly dull, starting out rather full and bitter-chocolaty but quickly thinning out and turning cardboardy, very bitter and chalky with little malty or fruity leavening....difficult to finish.

Jan 18, 2006 Black color with a thin and creamy head. Weak aroma of coffee. The taste is on the light side, but has a bit of bitter chocolate. Not as full as I’d like, but a passable beer.
