Pours black with a big tan head that dissipates very quickly leaving no lacing. Smell is big on roasted malts and not much else. The taste is pretty much the same and one-dimensional with roasted malts. Mouthfeel is a little thin for me but OK. This is actually a very drinkable dry stout but there’s not a lot going on with it.

Surprisingly decently drinking stout . Pours black with malt in aroma. Balanced, and not as dry, and decent balance of roast and malt and a bit of chocolate, all at sessionable ABV. Bottle..finished before lunch begins.

Dark black beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is quite roasty and cocoaish. Fresh roasty maltiness with a light espresso finish. Fresh cocoa and light roast over a lean maltiness. Simple tasty dry stout.

Make sure this beer is not shaken prior to opening. The head is incredible and its a classic stout.

This is really a great stout. It has a great black color to it with a nice head. It has a smooth start and a nice stout smokey finish to it.

Very little evidence of a dark chalky malt aroma. Black in color with a medium reddish brown head. Moderate malt beginning with a chocolate finish. Light palate for the stout.

En fût. Verre de dégustation chez Sea Dog (Bangor, ME) sour le nom "Sea Dog Stout". Arôme: Odeur de chocolat noire et de café. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un moyen col beige légèrement crémeux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café avec une pointe de chocolat et de vanille. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de café en arrière goût. (Rating #1794)
