From oaktree
12oz poured kind of a pale brown , at least at first , then settled to a dark brown body with a creamy head that faded fast. Nose was burnt coffee and caramel. There is a underlying sweetness to this, and a pleasant coffee after taste. Good solid stout.

Dec 4, 2009 Small frothy head. Dark dark chocolate brown body. No light passes through when held up to my computer monitor. Aroma of cocoa powder dominates the nose. Roasted malts predominate flavor. Starts out soft, moving towards bitterness in the aftertaste. Almost slightly smoky-ness too. Could perhaps use a slightly more body, but overall a very nice dry stout.

Nov 2, 2009 Dark amber brown pour into thick foamy tan head that slowly dissipates into sticky lacing that melts down the glass. Aroma of dark roasted malt and black coffee. Initial flavor of dark buttery chocolate malt fading to a slightly bitter, roasted nutty finish.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark brown, with a tan head that leaves a little lace. Aroma of roasted malt, some coffee. Taste is fairly straightforward, malt, with some mild bittering. Mouth is medium to light bodied (for a stout). Overall, an okay brew.

Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with ruby highlights. Frothy tan head that settles to a ring and left good lace. Aromas of coffee and milk chocolate. The flavor was much the same with a little roast coming out also. Medium body with a light coffee bitter aftertaste.

Oct 7, 2009 I remember being intrigued by this concept of NC and WF...so I snagged one. Not great, but a good drinking stout. Brewed for WF so it’s a bigger batch style, being light, with a nice round mix of regular stout flavors. Nice sweet roasty finish.

Sep 14, 2009 I was surprised to see that North Coast was brewing for Whole Foods, but wasn’t surprised to learn that it lived up to North Coast’s standard’s.
