 Ernest (4481), Boulder, Colorado, USA
Feb 7, 2004 Draught.
Body is dark brown to black.
Aroma is
moderately malty (roasted grain, caramel, chocolate), lightly hoppy (herbs, resin), with notes of vanilla and smoke.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation.
A nice stout almost as enjoyable as the Java Porter, but for me the hop aroma as it warms reveals that resinous PNW style that starts to ruin it for me. Still, very good and one of their best stouts, IMHO.
