Hickory Stick Stout is a complex beauty. Rich, flavorful, and aromatic but not overly heavy. Roasted black and chocolate malts give this beer its dark color and robust flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. Pale and crystal malts impart a mild sweetness and caramel flavor to balance theintense roasted malts.

Received in trade from brentk56, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a solid black color with a fluffy khaki head that slowly recedes to lots of chunky lace. Smells heavy on the roasted malts, lots of coffee, caramel, and chocolate mixed with some smoke and a hint of citrus and pine. Taste is much the same. Dark roasted malts leaning heavy on the coffee end. Pine hops come through midway and finishes with a dry long lingering roasted coffee bitterness. Medium body and light carbonation. Nice Stout! I really enjoyed this one, but it does finish a little dry for my liking. I wouldn’t hesitate to imbibe this one if it were more accessible.

22 ounce bottle, not sure who brought this one to the DC/Baltimore gathering. Metallic taste, otherwise unremarkable.

22 ounce bottle from Bestway in Greensboro, NC, rated 4/28/10. Pours a dark brown color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and spicy hop notes. The taste is roasted malts, a bit of smoke, spicy hops and a bit of coffee in the finish. Smooth, medium bodied, and fairly dry throughout. Good stout.

Mini Keg courtesy of Degarth. Pours up dark darkness with nice frothy – creamy mocha head. The aroma is of roasted to burnt malts then into ashy-ness. The taste is much the same with highly roasted malts that head toward burnt malts and some hints of coffee. Really roasty brew but far from an Imperial Stout in style.

Draught Pours black although the light was too dim to deteremine opacity. Average sized creamy head, that suited a Stout. Aroma when cold was of dark roast malts and some chocolate. Intensified as it warmed. The flavor was full and roasty with minimal amounts of sweetness and a long dry finish. As I drank this I thought it must be a Dry Stout. I don’t know if I would consider it an Imperial. If the alcohol was there it was completely hidden. Very drinkable and solidly brewed.
