Mar 10, 2007 Old 38 has the bitter, chocolate, coffee flavors of a great stout. Unfortunately the flavor is too mild, as if it was watered down slightly. To bad, it was almost a really nice beer....

Feb 26, 2007 Pours a very dark brown with a one finger tan head. Red color shines when held to the light.
Aroma is dark malty chocolate and coffee with English noble hops in the nose.
The flavor is dark roasted barley and coffee with a dry finish.
The flavor and aroma are more English or Irish than they are American, but it has the intensity of the American microbrew.
This is one of my favorite stouts.

Feb 25, 2007 12 oz. bottle - pours pitch black with almost no head, which seems to be standard for certain beers like this that are available locally...old perhaps, or just the way certain types (like dry stouts) are in bottles...anywho, taste come off flat, thin and overly burnt
