Aromas of coffee, toasted malt and oatmeal? Flavor is just a tad sour/bitter,but that’s overwhelmed by smooth toasted malt. Some coffee in the finish, which is lightly bitter. The bitter seems a bit floral/herb. Good drinking stout. boFNjackson (1274), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2008 Tap at Bailey’s Tap Room... Black with a brown head. Almost wine-like and salt, and roasted malt aroma. Light sizzle on the tongue and very foamy in the mouth. Leafy malt and a little bit of chocolate. Really dry finish. Very simple beer. hiddenvariable (194), pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
