From bottle #18 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours dark brown to black with alacing tan head. Sweet and fruity hops aroma with a nice malt roasted malt flavour. Flavour is dry and slight smoked towards roasted malty. Fruity hoppy flavour following. Bitter and dry finish with a persisting fruity hops flavour nicely complimenting the mild roasted malt finish.

#18 Bottle [Sk8viking great American blind tasting] Small brownish bubbly head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, burned malt, liquorish. Wood, hint of vanilla, and bitter liquorish. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and dry thick alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy sweet flavor with good counter bitterness. Lingering pine dry and bitter liquorish finish. 8 / 3 / 8 / 4 / 16 = 3.9

Thanks to drewbeerme for sharing this beer. Opaque black with a big creamy head. Aroma is big and creamy with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasty and slightly chalky but nice chocolate and smokiness as well. Dull powdered chocolate is the first thing that hits my tongue but the flavor is rounded out by a nice dry roasted grains, smoke and carmelized sugar. Medium body wtih nice carbonation. Not the most exciting stout I’ve ever had, but nice and drinkable none the les.

had on tap at the brewpup. Solid dark stout, not overpowered by coffee flavor, more of a good mix between that and a smooth dark chocolate.
