Walnut Brewery Devils Thumb Stout

Sampler at the Walnut Brewery, Boulder 12/10/2008 Fruit and roast aromas. Black fruity and a little rich on the palate. Crisp and slightly bitter coffee roast finish. (Unfiltered nitrogen tap)

Thick black. Fair roasted aroma. Sweet malts with a small bit of dry roasted taste. Decent.

Tried this one on an unfiltered nitrogen tap in Boulder at the Walnut Brewery. Very nice! This is my kind of stout. Very dark, smooth and creamy.

Crushed with Jakebra. It’s aight. Dominated by coffee and roast in flavor and nose. Thin body but nice flavor. Not great but decent.

On cask: Pours a nearly opaque black with a creamy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet milk chocolate and dark caramel with some roasty coffee character. Body is rich and creamy with good dark malty sweetness and chocolate flavors. Well balanced with bittersweet dark chocolate and flavor hops before a smooth, flavorful, lingering roasty chocolate finish. A very nice stout, especially on cask.

Tap @ brewpub. Dark color, short head. Bit sweet, some chocolat. Bit sticky mouthfeel. Nothing spectacular and maybe a little sweet for a stout, lacks some bitterness.
