Pike XXXXX Stout

black pour with a deep caramel head. deep notes of coffee with roasted malts and a big hint of chocolate. wow that’s quite smooth and the flavors are mostly coffee with a finish of chocolate. very impressive stuff right here. glad to have a stout like this available in TX now.

bottle, black pour with very thin brown head, nose is malty fruit, flavors of cocoa, coffee and mostly prunes and raisins, finish is strong and lingering, good stout

(Dry-hopped version from Brouwer’s Hopfest ’08) Interesting attempt. The addition of hops mellows the malt and smoke but doesn’t amount to much pine/floral in the taste, more so on the nose and finish. A bitter stout.

Black with short lived tan head. Nose has a lot of roast with some sugary fruit, alcohol, slight hop and vanilla. Flavor is quite roasty and rather bitter, but it’s balanced by chocolate and fresh hop in the long finish. Nice beer, well rounded. and quite effective.

This black, mocha topped pour smells of roasted coffee. The flavor is much the same but sweeter. It has a decent bitter finish.

bomber. black pour with a hint of red to it. light brown creamy head. dark chocolate and coffee in the aroma. roasted and smokey coffee flavors with a nice bitter hop finish. medium palate and tingly carbonation. very drinkable - great stout. K-7.5

Black colour with a tan head. Roasted malty aroma with coffee and chocolate sweet notes and hints of some hops. Coffee bitter flavor with a light earthy note and hints of hops.

Pours attractive deep brown with no head. Chocolate mainly in the nose and flavor, with an undesirable chalky influence.
