Redfish Gastons Swollen Delta Stout

Formerly brewed at Redfish New Orleans Brewhouse
Style: Dry Stout
Boulder, Colorado USA

Lovely head; thick and lofty, light tan in color; sticky and lingering lace. Dark black in color. Roasted and bitter-sweet with a vegetable/herbal aroma. Not great, but far from bad. On tap at Oskar Blues: Black as night with a tan, lasting head. Soft, creamy texture with a mild carbonation. Thick and rewarding. Huge coffee and bitter-sweet chocolate notes throughout. Roasty burntness too. Richly hopped, providing a nice bitter nip. Slight mustiness; yeasty and earthy. Tried this side-by-side with the Sandi's; liked Gaston's much better.

Very carbonate. Bubbly and stouts don't mix. Deep Reddish Brown in color. Fairly dry and not my cup of tea.

Actually more smokey than the "smoked" porter. This is really a moderately sweet stout rather than a dry stout. Very creamy and lots of raisin/grape flavors to accompany the roastiness. Very much like a light version of Cooper's stout.

Draught. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, dark chocolate), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Finish is lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery (almost creamy) texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent.
