Orlando Brewing Eagle Stout

Brewed by Orlando Brewing
Style: Sweet Stout
Orlando, Florida USA

Dark brown. The aroma is nice - chocolate, toast and molasses. Rich, slightly syrupy/molassesy taste with French roast coffee. Nice moreish finish with a hint of burnt malt acidity.

on nitro-pours a rich light brown head and black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-husky/chocolate, some acidic. Taste is dark malt-husky/chocolate/coffee, secondary hops bite/some acidic, peat.

Draft... Clear, deep, dark mahogany ale with a small, creamy, white head. Regarding the nose, espresso, toasted nuts and chocolate cake come to the forefront. Full-bodied and creamy with ticklish carbonation. Bittersweet, mocha and metallic/tin essence. Lengthy, bittersweet, roasty finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear deep amber with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty, mildly chocolate, sugary malts, burnt malts, a sense of biscuit malts and followed by hints of dark fruity esters. The taste is much the same with roasty to chocolate to burnt malts that really seem cohesive. By midway a mild pulse of dark fruitiness surfaces and then vanishes away as roasted malts, burnt malts and malt astringency take this to the finish.

Sample @ brewery taproom. Clearer than the porter, more see-through. Roch roasty aroma is mocha and relatively sweet. The toasty flavors are balanced by a pure malt sweetness. A nice brew.

The aroma is very weak for a stout. Its got toast, nuts, coffee, hops, and malt but not enough. The appearance is medium brown with an average head. The taste is like the aroma and astringently bitter. The palate is way to thin for the style. Overall this is a weak stout that doesnt satisfy. Its watery.

Tap @ Orlando Brewing. Dark brown \ black color. white head. Great lacing. Aroma of tar, licorice, and light roasted barley. Flavor is of tar, licorice, charred malts like black patent. Hints of oatmeal. Finishes with a Columbus \ Centennial hop bitterness. 30nov08.

Draft at GOBF ’08. Pours pretty translucent and dark brown in color. A foamy beige head crowns the brew. Aromas are heavily roasted and simple, with roasted barley, coffee, and chocolate being all that are really detectable. Flavors continue the roasty theme. Aside from some earthy hops, the choco-coffee, grainy roast dominate this beer, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Light caramel notes add a touch of sweetness, but not enough to qualify this as anything other than a regular stout. Medium bodied, as the appearance would suggest. Easy drinking. This was a pleasant surprise.....its a pretty decent brew.
