Piece Flat Iron Stout

Brewed by Piece Brewery & Pizzeria
Style: Stout
Chicago, Illinois USA

This is sort of a dud, not much taste at all. Very weak at first and a little smokiness, thats about it. I have all the respect in the world for the brewpub but this beer should go the way of the dodo.

A decent stout, but nothing special from Piece (I usually enjoy most of the stuff they brew). The picture pretty much describes it...pours blacks with a thin brown head. Hints of chocolate and coffee. It seemed a little dry. A pretty decent stout though, but not outstanding. Stick with the hoppy beers at Piece.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color. Nice milky aroma of roasted malt. Dry mouthfeel, with a milky roasted malt flavor, some dark chocolate too. Luckily the roasted malt is not too strong. Good.

Overall a good beer, smells nice, tastes smooth and has a chocolaty after taste. I’m so used to stouts that leave a bad aftertaste and this does not. Brought a growler of it home.

A decent Stout. On tap at Pizzeria. Dark black pour, some nice roasted malts in the nose. A few notes of chocolate and coffee. On the dry side. Medium mouthfeel.

On tap @ the brewpub. Pours black with a medium sized creamy head. This is a irish style dry stout which are normally pretty boring. But not this one. Very well balanced with notes of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and dark fruits. Yum.

Draught at the pizzeria. Pours a deep ruby black with thin khaki head. The aroma is roasted malts, definite weak coffee, a little bit of bitter chocolate and raisin. The flavor has a roastiness similar to plain coffee grounds, some raisin, and an ambient sweetness; some brown sugar comes out in the finish. Decent.

Draught during my Dark Lord excursion. Pours a deep brown/black with some red hues and a nice tan head. The aroma is malty, musty, and roasty. This seems to be a lighter, more English leaning stout. Hints of coconut milk, roast, chocolate, toffee, and almonds hit my palate. Not a bad stout, but certainly not one of the more memorable ones.
