22oz bottle acquired in trade with BBB63 (thanks!). This one initially poured all head. Finally settled down to a dark black, with red edges, and a tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, coffee grounds, and caramel. Tastes of coffee, chocolate, and light roast. LIke some of the other ratings I see, this one ended on a sour and tart finish (detracting from the tastes). Thinner body.

Near black colour. Chocolatey aroma with some dark fruit notes (plum, burnt cherry). Fruity flavour with a fair bit of roast and a tart, dry finish. Quite a bold, if unrefined, example.

(Bottle) Pours a black body with a spare off-white head. Aroma of chocolate and vinous. Flavor of roasted malt and cocoa with a sour and bitter finish.

When you ask a relative for "founder’s stout" be very descripitive. Dark body with thin head. Malty aroma with sour cherry and burbon. Mouth was a bit thin, nice coffee flavours with warm finish.

Loses head to be an 85% opaque stout, dark brown with edges to yellow. Grape, hints of port, and the flavor has a bit more roast. Roasty, chocolatey, with some strong cocoa notes.

Bottle. Decent strong prteresqe nose. Small ring of bubblers. Taste-butter coffee, soil, bitter hops, good amount of coffee, cigarette ash, light fruity esters. What I envision Al’s Diner would taste like if you could make it into a liquid form.

Bottle. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Opaque brown-black with slight head - very pretty. Rich complex flavor - get an initial flavor of dark chocolate-coffee that changes to a rich creamy caramel flavor and is finished with a nice hops that is nicely balanced. A nicely made stout - tasty, well balanced flavors. Draught purists may not like the slight carbonation.
