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

Bottle from Trader Joes; Nose is roasty and coffee; Transparent but very dark brown with a small tan head; flavor is coffee with toastiness and some faint hop bitterness.

Bottle at Dan’s. Dark stout. Tall head. Sweet taste, bit of chocolate and coffee. Bitter ending.

Courtesy of Footbalm. Lighty roasty aroma with some mild brown ale nuttiness and very faint coffee suggestions. The body is dark brown to flat black and holds a creamy tan head that is about a thumb thick and lasting, but slightly bubbly on the sides. The first sip is slightly thin then a lot of roasted malt profile comes through with some cream notes and faint coffee. Tastes pretty good and has a nice burnt/roast bitterness in the finish. A mite thin, but tasty and enjoyable overall.

Roasty aroma, some prune, nuts, and coffee. Not much head, but dark colored. Nice flavor, coffee, cola, nutty. Medium body, pretty good beer.

Delightful aroma of mocha, chocolate and nuts. Pours a dark opaque brown with a creamy layer of film. The drink is carbonated and has caffeine flavor and sensation as well as a undertone of coffee. Certainly a dry stout and at a very affordable price.
