North Coast Black Hart

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

a light beginning with a deep finish. a robust stout that would be good with a great steak dinner.

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.

Dark chocolate and big roasted malt in the aroma.Pours black with a medium tan head.Got some heavy roasted malt and some wood in the flavor.Full mouthfeel with a big roasted finish.

Brown Black light highlights with cream brown top. Nice chaotic top during the pour like Old Rasputin. Smells of smokey choco, nuts and vanilla. Tastes of light smoke, caramel and choco with a pinch of bitter conclusion. A simple yet impressive stout.

Clearly one of the best beers I have tasted. It pours a thick dark opaque brown, with a very thick, everlasting beige head. It's aroma is of deep enticing brown sugars and toasted raisin. The flavors run wild through this thick mealy stout. A slightly bitter flavor burst finishes with smooth chocolate and fruit overtones. Definitely to be incorporated into my list of regulars!

Smokey, roasted, woody aroma with just a hint of chocolate. The flavor has a bitter edge to it which blends well with the smokiness. Very dark color, and no head. Too much carbonation in this beer, but still a very refreshing dry stout. I, too, prefer this to Guinness, Beamish, or Murphy’s.

I cant believe i picked this up for 84 cents and it turned out to be this damn good!!!! It poured a dark brown color but led way to a fiery ruby red color in the light, my only markdown, with medium carbonation levels and a medium tanned head. The aroma was brimming with cocoa, coffee, roasts, nuts and a hoppiness. The taste is pure cocoa and chocolate...but oh my goodness, its actually a full bodied drink, not a thin coating layer of crap for once..oh how i have yearned for a stout that would do this for...ummmm...about 10 days now. Heavy nuts, malt, and dryness..lovely cocoa. Very pleasant drink..some bittering aspects, nicely palatable. Im impressed, a nice seasonal stout.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt as lighter notes of soy sauce, leding to a dry roasted finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
