Brewed by Wild Goose LLC (Flying Dog)
Style: Sweet Stout
Frederick, Maryland USA

Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of molasses, cherries, chocolate. Tastes earthy and chocolatey with a semi-sweet finish.

Bottle: Poured a coffee brown/black color with not much head at all. The aroma was toasted walnuts and malt. The flavor was somewhat bitter with hints of nuts and coffee present. Overall, a decent brew.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown, almost black, with a thin tan head which dissipated. Nose was of cigarette tobacco. taste was of some coffee. Mouthfeel was thin for a stout. Not impressed.

Pours a dark, coffee brown. Aroma is rich and woody. A little toasty nut hint. Flavor is warm....sweet...good roasty malt flavor. Also a bit of dark chocolate on the back of the tongue. A little bit thin though. Overall, pretty solid brew.

Pours near black with a fully receding tan ehad. Aroma of oatmeal, sweet chocolate malt, toasted malt. Tastes of mild chocolate, light sweetness, smoothness lended by oatmeal. Medium to full bodied, lively carbonation.

Bottle. Rich aroma: malt, oats, nuts, chocolate, roasted barley. Sweet and slightly acidic. Rich, smooth malt and oat taste. Sweet and creamy, with the burnt flavor kicking in a bit later and lasting a long time. Long finish of burnt wood and roasted nuts. Thick palate, creamy and smooth. Very nice all around with great balance and pretty good complexity. Slightly too sweet and acidic for me.

Opaque thin light brown head. Aroma is toasted malt. Fairly thin light palate mild roasty flavor. Quaffable but a little lacking in body and character.

Slightly metallic hazelnut caramel aroma. The flavor echoes the aroma pretty closely. A bit thin, but not bad.
