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.

Dark brown with a creamy tan head, this has a sweet roasted malt aroma that has fruity overtones. A bit thin in the mouth, it delivers that sweet roasted flavor along with the slightest hint of chocolate. I never would have labelled this as a dry stout, since that only comes across, and lightly so,in the finish. Not bad.

From a bottle - It pours an ebony black, with a short, fine tan head of foam and a slight-for-the-type mocha aroma. The taste is choclatey, but without much lasting body and an odd metallic finish (the same that I’ve tasted in old Guiness bottles).

Black pour with a large diminshing head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee with roast. Fairly roasty with some acidity. Another average at best bird beer.

Dark brown/black with a tan head. Not as thick a mouthfeel as many stouts. Coffee and chocolate notes, little sweetness. Dry, bitter finish that lingers a little. A drinkable stout, although not as assertive as many.

Rich creamy aromas of molasses and sugar. Light brown head that faded away quickly on a black body that has ruby edges. Flavor is very roasty with hints of dark fruits, citrucy hops, and coffee. Roasty finish lingers on your tongue for a while. The mouthfeel on this one I think is superb, has a blast of spritzyness and then smooths itself out into a creamy consistency. This is a great beer.

this seemed like a pretty unique stout to me. very much roasted malt/ almost dark chocolate taste. dry aftertaste. kinda reminds me of a mochalatte or something like that.

Bottle. Black color with moderate light brown head. Soft roasted malt aroma. Medium body with creamy texture. Moderate complex flavor with balanced but soft finish.

Jet black appearance with a coffee-like aroma. Somky malt apparent with a bit of cream rolling off the tounge. I have to say that I am impreesed with how this brewery can make such solid beers at such an affordable price.
