Pike XXXXX Stout

Brewed by Pike Pub & Brewery
Style: Stout
Seattle, Washington USA

Bomber. Pours a very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong roasted malt with alcohol, smoke, and chocolate. Full bodied with a thick roasted malt and oatmeal flavor with a bitter finish. A very good stout from Pike.

On tap at The Pike Brewery in Seattle. Poured a nice dark black stouyt color with a thin off white head. Aroma was chocolate malt, coffee, dark chocolate. Flavor was chocolate and coffee, but not overly bitter or full of tannins. This was a great stout.

Black pour raising a thick tan head. Nose is full of roasted goodness. Medium bodied with a light roasted malt bitterness. Expected more of that from the nose. Coffee makes a short appearance in the background along with some dark chocolate.

Bottle from the Majestic on Eastchase.Pours black with a healthy brown head. Big coffee aroma. Heavy roasted malts, a little chocolate, and more coffee. Great thick feel.

Definately a hairy arsed stout, full body, thick like a milk shake. Strong roasty aroma, burnt chocolate and coffee, full of similar roast malt flavours. Excellent stout, but lacking the guts of an Imperial.

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

Brune foncée aux reflets rougeâtres, faible quantité de mousse adhérant à la paroi du verre. Raisins noirs, cacao, malt grillé et levure en arômes. Les flaveurs vineuses et grillées semblent plus près de celle d’un porter que d’un stout. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince allant vers moyenne, finale mi-sèche, absence de sucre. Facile à boire.

(bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours black with a dark tan head. Aroma is somewhat subdued, but there is some dark chocolate and roasted malt present. Taste is of roasted malt with dark chocolate, with a coffee bitterness on the finish. Not bad, but a little thin.
