hotstuff (3038), Indiana, USA Sep 3, 2004 Oh my what an outstanding Stout that I rated at Shorts Brewing Co.!! Small light brown head and fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. Uncarbonated, opaque and a dark brown hue. Malty, chocolate, coffee and burnt notes. The flavor. Oh the flavor! Wonderful mixture of malts, coffee and chocolate from start to finish. Very smooth mouthfeel. Medium-full bodied Stout with good lacing. This beer received my highest overall rating of the beers that I rated at Shorts. If you enjoy Stouts, don’t miss this one!
pantanap (749), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 29, 2008 tap at shorts.....darker reddish brown pour with a frothy light brown head.... slighty bready aroma with just a hint of chocolate but was expecting a little bit more....chocolate became more apparent in the flavor with more of a roasted malt addition to it. semi-lively carbonation....pretty good. holdenn (1150), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2008 On tap at Shorts in a sampler glass. Pours dark black with a beige head. Nose of chocolate and some banana. Chocolate, brown sugar, banana, wheat and a touch of spice in the flavors. Bittersweet finish. With the wheat, I was not thinking this was going to be classified as a stout. Tasty though. jeffwilliams11 (254), hooterville, Michigan, USA Aug 3, 2008 draft at hopcats shorts dinner.
pour is very deep brown with red hints, and a nice off brown head. flavor is quite chocolatey, with a little bit of coffee in the back. only let down is that it is a little bit thin for my stout tastes. hombrepalo (465), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at Hopcat’s. This one was quite impressive, I liked it. dark brown/black body with small dark brown head...aroma of charred mlats, bitter chocolate, and a light coffee finish...flavor is of heavily roasted chocolate, coffee, dough, and walnut...great, creamy mouthfeel.
kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jul 22, 2008 Smores, anyone? This dark roasted malt matched with a tan head spells dessert. Full of flavor and works the palate. A great choice for the end of the night.
