Jan 13, 2009 12oz bottle poured into a shaker. NHTP pours very dark brown with a smallish off-white head that settles quickly. It has an aroma of burnt popcorn, oak and coffee. The body is a little watery for a stout. The flavor is nice and enjoyable if a bit boring. Charcoal sweetened with chocolate is the predominate taste. The finish lingers with a carbonated hop-filled bitterness. This is an average beer and falls short of my local favorite, Schlafly Oatmeal Stout.

Jan 13, 2009 I don’t drink many session stouts, but I won’t have any problem with the next five of these dark, sweet, and roasty mother(ahem)’s.

Dec 31, 2008 A creamy tan head set atop an opaque, black brew. Rich and smooth. The malt flavors dominatedwith just a hint of balancing hops. It was lighter than I expected from a stout. It went down easily. Not much of an aftertaste.
