Mishawaka Founders Stout

Brewed by Mishawaka Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Mishawaka, Indiana USA

Pours very dark with a thin tan head. Aroma is of prunes. Taste is dry with a nice coffee aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle. Fruity prune and coffee aroma. Black brown color with a creamy tan head. Flavor is acidic prune, molasses and bitter burnt toast. Light mouthfeel with a dry, almost tannic finish. Predominantly sour, not destined to be one of my favorites.

10/29/2009: Mishawaka Founder’s Stout... Aroma: Roasty diacytel. Appearance: Smooth, velvety extremely dark brown pour. Flavor: No butteriness in the flavor = good; roasted cocoa nibs; minerals in the middle (sulfites); roasty and slightly dry with plenty of chocolate flavor in the finish. Palate: Medium-light, a bit thin. Overall: Okay, isnt’ growing on me; not as bad as expected (the flavor actually saves this beer).

1 Pint 6 Fl. Oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #67 for this beer.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a small fizzy light brow head that receded to a wispy partial covering. The nose seems off from the first sniff, lots and lots of diacetyl going on and just a bit of roastiness makes it past. The flavor is fairly decent at first, very roasty and dry with a nice coffee note. The finish reveals the flaw quite prominently, lots and lots of butter. There’s a tinge of slightly acrid , not quite sour, burnt malt that doesn’t mix too well with the butter. Medium bodied with a bit of a slick finish and very prickly fizzy carbonation. Not a god efort at all.

Pours dark brown with a thin light brown head. Smells of sweet malt, some fruity hints. Tastes of chocolate, some dark fruit, some peppery splashes on the finish.

Pours black with a mostly receding ligth brown head. Notes of acidic roast malt, tart fruits, dark coffee, and minerals. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Got better once it warmed up for an hour or so and lost some of its carbonation.

bottle i believe from stfun.... pours mostly black with a huge rocky light brown head and lots of spotty lacing. strange smell... something tart, charcoal, minerals, grain, coffee and chocolate. something in there is definitely off... the flavor is of sour grain and limes... booo!... mineral water, roast and an aftertaste of coffee. it’s gone bad... still, it’s drinkable. medium bodied with a light tinny mouth feel from high acidity. booo! 4/4/2.5/2/9/2.15

From a 22 oz bottle this poured black with a medium tan head and moderate lacing, Watery mouthfeel. Nose of chocolate malts. Flavor is on the sour side. Dry finish. Drinkable, but thats about it.
