| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Draught at the San Jose brewpub. Pours black with a large beige nitro head. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, and coffee malt. Flavor is a fairly dry stout, with strong roastiness and a bit of ashy hops. The oats add a bit of body and maybe flavor. Pretty good. yesyouam (594), Fairport, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2007 (Sampler at the San Jose location) This stout is black with a tannish head. The aroma is of deep roast and chocolate malt. It has a medium body and is reasonably smooth-- not chalky like most of the other Tied House offerings. The flavor si of dark roast, perhaps raisin, but dry-- not that sweet. It’s perhaps a bit light, but it’s a nice stout. In my opinion, this is this brewery’s best offering. rmussman (905), California, USA

Has a dark hue with a thin lacey dark head. Mouthfeel is very smooth full of oats and barley. Flavor is packed with goodness. Worth a try if you are around the south bay.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Draft at the San Jose brewery. Nitro pour. A couple minutes later, you can;t even tell. Then again, san Jose’s a little hotter than what I’m used to. This one had an honest-to-goodness nose on it, though. Roast and coffee. Yay for Tied House beers you can smell! The body’s watery for a stout, and not too awfully bubbly. The flavor doesn’t take you very far, especially for a stout, but it gives you a little love. Probably the closest TH comes to really making a step in any direction toward a flavor or a style/aesthetic choice. y0cola (361), fremont, California, USA
