detroiter (957), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Feb 14, 2007 Pours an almost black color, topped by an inch of brownish foam. Great lacing throughout the glass. Mild roasted malt in the aroma - nothing flashy.
I am surprised at how chocolatey the malt is. Bold bittersweet chocolate dominates the brew, with some vanilla and smooth roasted malt in there too. Very smooth and creamy texture, medium bodied, nice carbonation.
Mrthirstyneck (339), Minnesota, USA Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Jul 12, 2008uh. it’s.........ok. Not anything to write home about here. It’s drinkable and smooth, but the potato lends nothing to this I didn’t think. In fact, the flavor seemed a bit OFF to me in some way. Try if you may but don’t expect alot here. incutrav (521), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Apr 28, 2008 Really a watery, bland, plain stout. The potato aspect does nothing for this. Not much in the way of flavor. Smooth drinking, but thats about all that can be said. Forgetable for sure. Stine (1354), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Apr 3, 2008 Nitrogen pour; chocolate brown topped with gray eggshell foam. Mild aroma of berries and vanilla, milk and chocolate; dry and empty. Flavor is of wet toast and potato starch, with a juicy, generic red vinousness that lingers as the only distinct hint of complexity; nothing to taste if not looked for. Bit of meek roast. Palate is milky and very thin; finishes with some soft merlot tannin and dry starch, weakly. A sheepish offering all around; awkward like a limp handshake. LawStudent09 (321), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Mar 29, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Pour was deep dark brown with little head. Cocoa on the nose and the taste reminds me of a watered down Guinness. IlanMan (573), Winona, Minnesota, USA Mar 21, 2008 On tap at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery. Aroma of Sweet malt and light potato. Taste was real smooth (due to nitrogen) and had a good burnt and roasted flavor. Potato also added to body of beer. Slight hop taste as well but altogether, tasted like a pretty mild stout. Good and might buy again.
