Jul 4, 2008 Pours a very dark amber with very loose large bubbles on the top - no retention. Aroma is quite sweet. Tastes very thin with a nice maltiness to it, more of a sweet-stout than a dry one. Carb minimal, body thin and water. With a few alterations could make a nice porter.

Black body with light tan head. Good sugars and roast on the nose. I was immediately put off on the first sip by the tartness...I wasn’t expecting that. Once I knew what I was getting into, though, the beer came round nicely. Roasty, tart, with soft chocolatey malts. Very refreshing finish. Light body, too. This really drinks like a 4% stout, which in the summer it probably ought to be, but either way it’s a very nice stout, something we don’t get enough of in BC.
