Deep brown, red backlights, short tan head. Very little aroma, very little taste. Watery, caramel, chocolate, flat cola. Dull and lifeless.... Doesn’t taste bad, it just hardly tastes at all.

Pretty dark but really is not as coal black as many sweet stout. Yes, has some stout attributes. Starts of like its trying to be rude but never gets there. Seems fairly mid after sipping for a while, low alky but it has enough of an alky effect to know its pretty decent beer. Not bad overall but it could use a few gentlemanly manners. Grows on you. Less annoying than many of the HGs I’ve had lately.

Pour is a dark red with a large tan head. Aroma is a decent char roasted malt with some chocolate. Flavor is the same. A nice burnt malt with some dark chocolate notes. Finish is thin and did not leave much after the swallow. This was ok to decent. Plenty of roasted malt comes through and that’s all you can ask for.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/13/12
Aroma: The nose is rather subtle, with just notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and roast
Appearance: Pours a dark brown color with a small, fizzy beige head and minimal lace
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, a little less bland then the nose, but with similar components
Palate: The body is fairly light for the style, watery, with an average-plus carbonation, and a short duration
Overall Impression: I wasn't all that impressed. You could probably look at the 30 + scores that have been entered before me, and guess pretty much what you are getting here...

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark chestnut-brown color with a large foamy tan head that faded and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was dusty and a bit malty with a cream presence. The flavor was light cream, a hint of vanilla and a touch of toasty malts with a dusty undertone. Medium length finish. Light to medium body. Disappointing.

Bottle from Ray’s, Wauwatosa, WI From my WI visit, glad to be finally done with samples from this brewer. Still, pours a deep brown body with red highlights, a proper stout tan head. Smell is of coffee malt, a little caramel sweetness. Even has a bit of alcohol nose. Taste is closer to standard stout, some astringent roast harshness, but also a bit rich in flavor. Sweetness is not obtrusive, balanced by earthy English hops. Best of the Horny Goat beers I’ve found. This may chance if & when they start brewing their own.

Bottle. Deep brown body with read highlights. Frothy, tan head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, mild coffee and roasted malt. The flavor is lightly bitter and lightly to moderately sweet. It finishes lightly to moderately bitter and lightly sweet. Medium body, slick, thick texture, lively carbonation. The finish leaves a lot to be desired. Very watery with a lingering burnt taste that is slightly metallic. Milk stout? Where’s the sweet finish?
