Bottle pourd reddish brown. Theis is weak for a stout, really! I got nothing as far as typical smells and taste, except watered down. Why bother.

BOTTLE: On first impression it seems promising, but those hopes are quickly dashed. Body is too thin, almost no roast character, little complexity, nonexistent finish. It looks like a Black and Tan, but on blindfolded taste test I wouldn’t guess it claimed to be one. Drinkable, but that’s about it. BUY AGAIN:Unlikely

12 oz bottle. dark amber with alot of ruby highlights. Aroma is caramel and molasses with metallic as well as stale malt and cooked corn. Taste is about the same, thin bodied and stale, drain pour.

Ugh, sweet and overly carbonated. Adjunct. If you want to go for a pre-mixed b+t I’d recommend you go for saranac or yuenglings before headin in this direction.

Not much aroma, forms a good head that dissipates quickly. the flavor is a little weak and watery, with not much of a finish.

Very dark liquid, fine bubble head. Taste is watery, dark roasted malts with a sweet finish. Not worth seeking out.

Dark brown with a light brown head that diminished rather quickly. Aroma is muted stout aromas with some cardboard. Watery. No taste really at all. Very sweet like water with sweet and low in it.
