Commercial Description:
Our only named beer to date. Its' honorary status is in tribute to its' designer, Allen Rhoades, a fellow brewer who captured a blue ribbon at the Western Washington State Fair when it was entered as a homebrew. It's everything a stout should be. Rich and hearty, not thick and overpowering, comes complete with a creamy head. Chocolate and crystal malts along with roasted barley combine to create the wonderful flavor. Compliments deserts well: try one in place of a cup of coffee.

Murky brown pour, with bubbling carbonation and topped with a thin light brown head. Strong quality wafts of rich dark bread, roasted chocolate, nuts and coffee. Front end of the flavor profile is weak, but blossoms into a fantastic smoky and oaken finish. A light hoppy bitterness on the front end. Aftertaste is a sweet chicory and hazelnut smack, with a good dose of sugar. Palate is highly drinkable with a very smooth rich water quality, backed with a nose of chocolate.

On tap at brewery. Not a lot of head but a big mean black beer. Big roasted nose with licorice and charcoal. Slight sweetness from chocolate, slight bitterness to balance. Oily and full on the tongue. Enough of an alcohol burn to add some needed warmth (esp. in Ashland!). Their best beer on this day.

Black, brownish head. Thick and full bodied, with an aroma of chocolate and butterscotch (in a good way). Smooth and filling, with a flinty, coffee flavor up front. smooth, latte -like finish. Very enjoyable. Thanks to Jewedekind for the trade!

A black beer with a fluffy light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with creamy notes. Roasted and grassy flavor with creamy notes. OK, but little unbalanced.

Beer pours black with a tan colored head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is pretty nice with coffee and lots of roastiness. Flavor is a bit thin compared to the aroma. Light flavors of coffee. The finish comes late but is big on roasted flavors. Finishes well. Not the greatest stout ever, but one I would be really happy to buy if it was brewed down the street from me here in Texas. Thanks Tom!!! Improves as it warms.

Pours a rich oily opaque with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly caramely sweet and very roasty with hints of dark fruit complexity. Body starts robust and silky with a nice malty sweetness before a bittersweet, mildly dry, roasted finish. Very nice for a regular stout. A little more malt and this could be imperial.

A black beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted, while the flavor is sweet roasted combined with notes of wood, prunes and chocolate.

Stout Night!!! Starting with this beer courtesy of JPDIPSO. Lots of coffee flavor, bitter, malty, well balanced beer. Smooth and drinkable, black like volcanic glass, this is a solid Stout. A little thin but excellent in the mixture.
