Great beer on tap. One of the best stouts I’ve had. I’ve heard some problems about bottles from friends, but the tap lets this one shine. A great malted coffee taste.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with a thin light brown head. Aroma was full of roasted malts and a wooden note. Flavor began with roasted malts and and a strong wooden note emerges towards the finish. Very dry on the tongue.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Dark black with a small tan Guinness lily pad type head. No real bubbles and no lacing.
S: Burnt malt, coffee, and chocolate. Ho Hum.
T: Nice and mild stout. Some chocolate and coffee taste but no real flavor explosion. Creamy yet dry. Not a bad brew.
M: Creamy start, with a dry finish and a bit of bite.
D: It was light enough to put down several without settling like concrete in the stomach.

Nov 24, 2009 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).

Sep 6, 2009 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.

Aug 4, 2009 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.
