Mike Duggan Number 7 Stout

Brewed by Duggan’s Brewery
Style: Stout
Toronto, Canada

From Cask at Bar Volo Cask Days. Very dark brown colour with foamy white head. Malty chocolate aroma. Nice sweet malt and chocolate flavour. Lingering aftertaste.

Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2009. Opaque red-black pour with a solid creamy tan head. Oily aroma of treacle, nutty caramel malt - simple. The taste followed - oily and nutty, deep roast, somewhat sweet and, weirdly, salty. Slick mouthfeel, a bit astringent, fairly quick off the tongue - a decent, if light, chocolately stout - I will have it again.

On cask @ Volo cask days: Appearance: like a pint of Guinness, almost would think it was nitro and not cask, nice thick creamy head. Aroma: Milk, peat, chocolate, malt and almost some peppermint to it. Flavour: Malt, chocolate milk, nice smooth mouthfeel with a chocolate finish. Very nice.

[2572-20091031] Cask. Roasty malt aroma has a little earthy chocolate chunky cocoa. Clear, dark brown black body with a quick foamy off-white head. More roasty chocolate sweet malt in the flavour. Medium-full body is a little thin, could stand for more. Looking for more carbonation and more body here, would be interested to try it on tap.

Volo Cask Days 2009. Solid stout! Great roast, and great hops! Really isnt much more i can say, some good chocolate, and coffee, but really nothing spectacular, just a super solid beer. I wish it was bottled it would be a go to beer.

Cask Days 2009 @ volo. black pours with a small tan head. roasted malt nose. the flavours are similarly roasty. the hops add balance and are noticable through but they are not the main feature of this brew. a well put together stout.

2009-10-31. Black body with a small frothy tan head. 3+ Aroma is milder than expected, dry roasty malt, light coffee touches, moderate malt support. 6+ Flavour is similar, muted sweet dark malt is first impression but quickly gives way to a dry roast, mild coffee like roast accents. 6+ Average palate is lighter than my preference for stout, and I look forward to sampling this one again on draught. Solid serviceable stout. Cask at Volo Cask Days 2009

Cask Days 2009 @ Bar Volo, Toronto, ON: Good dark pour, little bit of off-white head. Aroma is very mild, some light chocolate and caramelized sugar is noticeable. A sweet flavour that is roasty and oddly sour. Decent beer.
