Union Barrel Works Round Boy Stout

at brewpub for a beer dinner event. Poured black with a small tan head. Aroma of light coffee and chocolate. Taste of chocolate, light coffee, light citrus, (maybe even a little sour), light bodied and prickly on the tongue.

On tap @ UBW. Pours a clear dark brown body with a small light brown nitro head. Nice coffee and roasty nose with a little nuttiness. Very dry roasty flavor, lots of black patent malt. Lingering burnt toast finish with light bitterness. Ususl thin nitro’d body, but the carbonation is actually a little prickly, the gas mix must be a little higher on the CO2 than most. Pretty good, if you’re into drier Stouts. Deceptive in its color, I thought that this was going to be lighter on the roast.

Draft at the brewery. Pretty dark color with a moderate tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and malt. Flavor was a little odd, as it tasted like high quality weed. (Not that I have done that in many, many, years.) That dominated the flavor, but the coffee and chocolate came thought slightly.

(USA) Pours a dark brown almost black color with a med dissipating tan head. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee. The taste is much of the same with a hint of roasted malts. The palate is smooth and sweet. very nice !!!

On tap at the brewery...pours deep brown with almost no head...roasty aroma, coffee-chocolate combo with malts...flavor is much of the same, smooth, semi-sweet, yet dry. Easy drink, very enjoyable.

On draught at the brewer. Almost opaque pour, deep ruby hues with a diminishing head. Dry roasted malts, with lots of herbs and nuts (almost vegetable). The finish is of pure black roasted coffee, spot on. Creamy mouthfeel with very low IBU’s make this not too bad.

Robust amber-brown with burnt head. Nice coffee aroma and carafa malts. Easy coffee flavor. Dryish finish and a tad watery.

Pours a deep brown with ruby notes and a medium crew off white head. Aroma of chocolate, lightly roasted malts and hints of smoke. Flavor was a nice mix of roasted malts, dark chocolate, hints of coffee...nice stout.
