Stone Coast Jamaican Stout

Brewed by Sunday River Brewpub and Restaurant
Style: Foreign Stout
Bethel, Maine USA

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Some roast aroma. Black strong in alcohol and fruity with a crisp and bitter roast finish.

Pours brown with an off white head. Smells of chocolate, sweet malt, molasses. Tastes of sweet caramel, chocolate, lots of roastiness and a peppery finish.

Bottle courtesy of joepais poured into a tulip. Pours a deep chocolate brown, almost black, with a huge creamy tan head that showed great retention and good lacing. The aroma is much sweeter than I expected with some dark chocolate malts and only faint hints of coffee. The taste follows the aroma with a milky chocolate sweetness on top of roasted malts. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and fairly light. This is a decent stout but not one that stands out in any way.

figured I would grab a bottle before they disappear. Bottle poured into a snifter produced a couple of fingers worth of tan head that turns to a thick lace .The body was a typical black color no light coming thru at all. The aromas of roasted malts and chocolate filled my nose. There a touch of sweetness as well This stout was a pleasant surprise, sweeter than I expected in a stout. You get the typical stout flavors of coffee and chocolate but the bitter is tamed by a nice sweet flavor that comes thru. This has a medium body with good carbonation a good combination for this stout. Good drinkability on this stout the bomber was easy to finish, another brew to be missed from Stone Coast
