Southampton Extra Stout

Formerly brewed at Southampton Publick House
Style: Stout
Southampton, New York USA

Enjoyed a pint of this one on draught at the Publik House in Southampton, NY. Pours to a jet black color, with a thick, creamy, tan head, and a moderate carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent, with lots of big dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted barley aromas. The palate is rich and full on the tongue with really fantastic dark chocolate, coffee, and roasty notes. This beer finishes with more big dark chocolate and coffee flavors up front, and ends with a bone dry and roasty bittereness that lingers. Outstanding example of Irish stout. Very authentic, very delicious pint of beer, that works very well with the sea food, and deserts on the Publik House menu.

Growler thanks to puddintane’s secret santa: Pours dark brown to black with a medium sized tan head. Aroma, chocolate, lots of dry roasted notes, some coffee, toasted notes. Flavor, coffee, chocolate, with a nice dry roastiness. Some roasted bitterness, medium bodied. This was really good, very drinkable, tasty. I loved it.

I was really impressed with this: on tap at the brewpub...Very thick and rich, great mouthfeel, slightly chewy, yet it is not too heavy. Full-aroma and Full-flavor. Great amounts of coffee and chocolate. Gentle roasted malts abound, but this one is not too sweet. Very good, wish I had more of it.

Growler from HDG. Deep dark black in color with a little head that left a nice lacing. Smokey malty chocolatety aroma. Roasty nutty chocolatety flavor. Caramel notes. Finish is smokey. Medium bodied. Well balanced. Creamy. Nice beer. Very drinkable.

Tap at the brewpub - shazam - a great foreign stout - perfectly black with a thick dark brown lace - nice cocoa, anise, wine-like bitterness - light toffee sweetness to balance - not so much roasty as it is burnt in flavor, but not in a bad way, more like a well-done roasted marshmallow with bittersweet chocolate wrapped around it.

Draft at HDG. Rich and roasty both in flavor and aroma. This has a nice touch of both chocolate and coffee without either being in your face. I really like the dryness in the finish, like these cocoa dust on your throat. This is a really easy drinking stout. How about you lose that "secret" of a recipe and put this in 12 oz’ers?

Draught at Hop Devil, NYC. Pitch black, brown head. Smoked malt aroma, chocolate, milk, cocoa, smoked fish, ash and some fruity notes. Smoked flavor, ash, rather malty, cocoa, nice balance and a rather pleasant finish.

Tap Publick House. Pours very dark and nearly opaque. Head is light tan and leaves some lacing. The aroma is moderately malty with notes of chocolate and toffee present. The aroma was nice and malty. The flavor is firm yet subtle. Roasted malt, chocolate, toffee, some espresso are all players here, and yet do not overpower. Nice balance. There is slight malt bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel was full and creamy. A very nice stout.
