Black with a creamy tan head. Chocolate aroma and a good chocolate taste with a mild bitterness.

Just recently had a bottle at the Little Cigar Bar in downtown New Port Richey. It has everything I look for in a good stout. It’s Dark brown, malty, roasty, bitter. So I had another.

Good stout, a little weak in flavor, hints of blueberry. Expected more out of shipyard, but overall not a bad stout.

12 bottle from my Shipyard guy. Pours opaque black with a small tan head. A good balance of coffee, chocolate, toffee and toasted malts in the nose. Nice roasty flavor with some coffee and cocoa. A good recovery from shipyard as most of the stuff I’ve tried from them as of late has sucked.

Tap at Mellow Mushroom. Not what I’d consider a great stout, but not bad. Black color. Light coffee in the smell. Felt a bit watery for a stout. Hops come in toward the end. Bitterness weird.

12 oz, bb May 09. Opaque with a small lasting disc of cream. Aroma of espresso, light char and metallic berry. Tastes of espresso and slight berries, turning to charred oat, wood and grain. Medium-heavy body is silky smooth, watery in a drinkable way, and roasty-dry. By far the best I’ve had from this brewery.

Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: Deep mahogany with cherry wood. Large tanned creamy , rocky head. 4+
Nose: Sweet , vinous , roasty black malts , bit of ash , plum. Dry backing on mineral hop. 8-
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied. Malty sweets with green hops well blended with roasted walls. Quiet rich for lighter beer. Slight acidicity gives to complexity. A bit of tweaking with formula can make this brew great. Slightly off target when comes to ingredient interaction. Still quiet good.

Poured almost black with a short, almost tan head. The aroma was malt, roasted coffee and slightly sour. The flavor was better with plenty of malt, coffee and a slight bit of creamy chocolate. The mouthfeel was closer to thin than it was to medium. Overall it’s a serviceable example of the style.
