Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Clear, dark mahogany ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Nutty, creamy milk chocolate nose. Nice roast. Chocolaty, toasty flavor. Balanced well... not sweet, but not burnt nor bitter. Medium-bodied with a skim milk mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, coffee, lightly bitter finish.

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.

Sep 2, 2009 This came from the Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA not Whole Foods. It poured a very dark brown, almost black, with a fat tan head and very nice lacing rings. Nose of roasted malts, coffee, and some chocolate. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is malty with a lot of bitterness from the hops. Very nice.
