Commercial Description:
Black Hawk Stout retains the big traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout and yet offers a refreshing dry crispness that is rare in many dark beers. "Bottle Conditioned" Black Hawk Stout is replete with a rich, roasted malt flavor that makes this not-so-heavy stout, creamy and ever so smooth. It has a subtlety that surprises and converts even the most reticent stout drinker.

22 oz bottle. Pours very dark brown. Not quite black, but close. Head was quite small , Not a whole lot of lacing. Nose was burnt malts, coffee, and chocolate. Mouthfeel ordinary, and flavors mild for a stout. Finiish is dry and hoppy for a stout. Not sure what is being attempted here. Average at the best.

Cofee and brown sugar in the aroma from the black body that has very little head. medium to thin palate tastes of watered down coffee. Very one dimensional.

Bottle. Pours almost black. Aroma is very subtle almost hard to receive. Taste is common for a dry stout, roasted malts, medium bitterness and somewhat hoppy. Smooth to drink but VERY thin for a stout. More like a porter. Fun to try, but won’t add to my cellar.

decent, very dry stout. Deep flavors up front leave a slightly burnt, roasty, lingering finish. A little thin.
