Tinny/metallic, thin body but with decent coffee tones. Far too few hops to be labelled as an irish stout.

Bottle. Dark brown to black with a good sized, light brown, creamy head. Aroma is bitter chocolate, sweet roasted malt and a hint of coffee and hops. Flavor is chocolate and roasted malt. Medium bodied with minimal carbonation and a nice, dry finish with a hint of hops bitterness.

Sampled from a bottle, this beer pours to a thin creamy dark brown head. The body is a really dark brown with red highlights. The aroma is roasty and bready, chocolate and grass hops. This is quite nice for a dry stout. :) The flavor is roasted coffee, dark fruits, and dark semi-sweet chocolate. The palate is a bit thin, but I suppose I’ve never had a thick dry stout. Dry and tangy.

Very dark brown color with a small beige head. Very roasty aroma with some dark fruit and lactose sourness. Very roasty, creamy lactose flavor with some plum. Medium body, light carbonation. Slightly dry finish.

Deep, dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma burst out with some roasted coffee tones and somewhat of a lactic sourness. The flavor was full of roasty, toasty, smoky tones with a lactic sourness in the aftertaste. The feel was a little thin...soft carbonation...semi-dry finish. Thanks BBB63 for this one!

Going through and re-sampling some of the Sprecher’s I’ve had before but never rated. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. Ok beer, not as good as the Imperial (everything’s better on the dark side).

This ber smelled soo good but the flavor was a bit flat for me. It was very dark, almost black. I had it a couple days ago so I don’t remember it that well. All I remember is that it smelled amazing but didn’t taste good. eh

Not very dry for a dry stout but good flavor. Chocolste and coffee. Medium all the way through. Good beer but doesn’t fit the discription.
