North Coast Old No. 38 Stout

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

A great stout. Aroma of chocolate. Tastes of licorice, seaweed, roasted malt. very complete and balanced. Full bodied but not heavy.

Bottle. Dark brown color with tan head that laced the glass. Roasty aroma with hints of milk chocolate. Flavor is similar, slightly sweet on the tongue. Full bodied. A solid stout.

Dark brown/red with lightbrown head, a little peppery in smell, sweet taste with some fudge, burnt, long bitterness

Dark with a tan head. Not very malty. Sort of dry and flat throughout. Some malt flavors but not with much else. Straightforward and clean.

A pretty typical stout. I have noticed that North Coast Brewing Co. is usually not typical about anything. A couple of their brews will slap the shit out of you (Old Stock Ale - Old Rasputin). This is a little more tame. Typical but good.

Pours with dark brown nearly black with a big light brown head. Smells of a sweet coffee. Taste is a roasted nutty flavor with some bitterness at the end.

A nice dark brown stout with a thin, pale foam. Not very "heavy", but has a nice roasted arome and a hint of fruit ? There is a slight bitterness in the finish.

Bottle from trade with gputty. Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head that lasted most of the beer. Left some fairly decent lacing. Has a medium body. Aroma of roasted coffee with a hint of cocoa. Taste mildly like dark chocolate with a dry slightly bitter finish.
