The Commodore came out of our search for a medium-bodied American Stout. The recipe began at our R&D pilot brewery, but quickly became a favorite of our crew. Strong flavors of roast coffee and bittersweet chocolate balance with light citrusy hop aromas, highlighted by a crisp, bitter finish. One sip of this gold medal-winning stout will have you ready to take command of your own fleet.

Bottle. Very dark brown almost black. Aroma was burnt toast and coffee. Taste was just way too bitter. Burnt grain bitter up front with a hoppy bitter finish.

Bottle from Beergium. Always a treat opening a Ballast Point bottle whilst enjoying the refined label art. Roasty aroma with dark malt, coffee, cocoa, dark chocolate, and a hint of hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a medium roasty hoppy bitter finish. Body is medium. Great Stout, lots of roasty coffee chocolate flavours with a potent bittersweet flavour. Solid!

Bottle. Pretty much black with a tan head. 3+ Aroma of roasted malt, blackstrap licorice. Really rather sweet with roast and an ashy touch as well as bitterness reigning it in a bit. It is dryish at the end but indecisively sweet at first.There's some light and slightly earthy coffee too, which is nice. Not bad.

Prawilny, kawowy, gorzkawy, raczej wytrawny i dosc lekki stoucik
