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.

The body is virtually pitch black, capped by a foamy, tan colored head. Micro-bubble sheeting slides back towards the body, a few random splotches remaining frozen on the glass. The aroma is very straightforward, roasty baker’s chocolate and caramel notes showing alongside a dose of lactic creaminess. The flavor shows an unexpected, slightly sour funk to it up front, but that quickly fades into bitter chocolate, scorched caramel, day old coffee, barley, and earthy hops. Medium-plus in stature, the mouthfeel is drastically overcarbonated and fizzy. Is this supposed to b a stout soda, because that’s what it feels like. Not terribly impressive in any facet, the palate just ruins this one. Decent at best.

A pretty tastey stout. Pours a dark chocolate coloured body with a huge tan head. Soft aromas of a breakfast blend coffee, smoke and dark chocolate. Light vanillar flavor and a creamy finish.

Bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is roasty. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, a bit of coffee at he end. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, pretty creamy and smooth. Overall, my only complaint is that it isn’t thicker. Good stout.

BOTTLE: room temp. Pours black with lively tan head, quickly dissipates. Aroma is not very strong but definite roastedness. Flavor packs a punch of roasted barley and cocoa. Palate is bubbly but short lived. A decent stout.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Pours a dark, dark brown color with a large tan head that patiently fades into a creamy crown. The aroma is roasted malt and mediumsweet dark chocolate. The flavor is also heavy on the roasted malt and dark chocolate. Additionally, a significant shot of coffee slips in at the end. Medium to full bodied and creamy smooth drinking brew. This is a solid stout indeed.

Black with barely existent medium brown head. More bubbly head that Guinness or a nitrogen-tapped stout. Aroma is all roast with some hints of cocoa. Very bitter for a stout, but quite good too. Very full mouthfeel. I like it!

Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Nice sweet flavor. Solid stout.
