North Coast Black Hart

Brewed by North Coast Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Fort Bragg, California USA

Almost always in my fridge. The perfect beer for those times when I can’t decide whether I want an IPA or a stout. A helluva deal for $5 bucks. Makes an interesting black and tan.

As the bitterness lingers, I wish for another... as I swag this down at room temperature, sweet smell but a sharp taste still lingers... a decent stout.

Pours dark, but not super dark for a stout. Smells of roasted malts and hops. Dry roasted coffee flavor. Quite a bit of hoppiness for a stout. Good stout.

Deep ruby-brown colour, quick disappearing tan head which leaves no residual lacing. Appears flat but becomes rather carbonated on the palate. Smells like homebrew, also has a tinge of a metallic smell. Rich roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and mild hop flavor. Slight metallic aftertaste as well. Nice dry finish, well rounded beer.

NIce dry coffee, milk, coaco, and rosted malt nose. Dark brown body with a loose mocha head. Roasted maltyness boarders on a slight burnt taste, coffee, a little earthy bitterness, touches of dark chocolate and alcohol make appearances. Finishes with more roasted malt and toast.

A pleasant stout, think I detected some rye along with the cocoa, coffee and hop bitterness. Seems very true to the style, enjoyable.

Roasted, dry chocolatey bietter. unpleasant flavor for some reason but solid.

Tastes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and malt. Slightly sweet, creamy and smooth with a lightly bitter aftertaste. This is good stuff.
