Commercial Description:
Black Hawk Stout retains the big traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout and yet offers a refreshing dry crispness that is rare in many dark beers. "Bottle Conditioned" Black Hawk Stout is replete with a rich, roasted malt flavor that makes this not-so-heavy stout, creamy and ever so smooth. It has a subtlety that surprises and converts even the most reticent stout drinker.

Pours dark mahogany with a medium, foamy wheat bread colored head. Aroma is roast, a little smoke, wet leaves, straw, planty hops and toasted lemon poppy seed bread. Flavor has lots of roast, fresh baked granola toastiness, molasses, planty hops, burnt sugar and a nice slightly bitter herbal hop a char finish.

Dark brown pour with a lighter tinge to it. Mild nutty smell and flavor with hints of malt as well. Very watery and not terribly enjoyable.

Aroma is a dark chocolate malty sweetness. Pours very dark with not much light tan head. Body is thin and flavour starts subtly with malt and coffee. Lingering mild hop bitterness and faint acerbic aftertaste. Some notes of nuts and toffee. Flavour does drop off rather quickly. Enjoyable to drink with good flavour but not very long lasting.
