Tap at the brewpub. Chestnut color with a rudy tinge when held to the light. 1/8th inch lid of tiny tan bubbles. Molasses and sorghum aromas with just a touch of toasted cornbread and butter. Standard tap stout feel. Vienna coffee flavors with mild cinnamon and sugar. A nice sweet coffee linger. To me this is more a traditional type porter. Sort of a mix of a twopenney and a mild, with just a touch of black malt. Lots of flavors working in this one.

Very dark. Undertones of coffee and chocolate. Very pleasing to the tastebuds!

Draft, at Northwoods. A lighter taste than most stouts. The same black body, but lacking the “oily” mouthfeel. A little of the hoppiness shows through here. As I mentioned with their porter, this beer is hampered by being force carbonated to the same pressure as all the other beers, when it needs a lighter touch. <font color=red>This beer had been renamed “Dark Walnut Stout” on their menu card when I tasted it, but the commercial description is the same. My take-home bottle still has “Kelly’s Stout” on the label, and it’s “Kelly’s” on their web page, too.</font>

Near-black color with no head. Roasted malt aroma and a little chocolate. The taste is about the same, but incredibly watery. These guys are close to brewing good beer, but just fall short.

On tap at both the Chetek and Eau Claire, WI brewpubs. Pours a dark near opaque brown brew with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted hazelnuts, some dark chocolate, and a hint of licorice. Taste is lightly carbonated, some chocolate but a touch of sour malt. FInish is dry and flat. This brew has character more of a porter than a stout. May be Northwoods best product.
