You hold in your hand a stout for stout lovers. Buried Hatchet is brewed with a large quantity of brown malt reminiscent of a traditional pre-Industrial Revolution malt profile. This stout is full of robust, roasted flavors which intermingle with a bittersweet creaminess that concludes to a perfect, warming finish. [Moving from stout to RIS given the high abv above 8% -GT2]

I picked up a 12 oz can of Buried Hatchet at the nearest and best beer shop earlier today. I am some time between stouts, ready to sample this one. The can is open and I lift into a glass. Dark brown certainly with a small head of tan foam. I smell chocolate and a bit of ash. A drink, ah, it is rather ashy along with grain, milk chocolate, malt and perhaps coffee. Quite thin. I hoped for something more substantial in all ways.

12 oz. can from Spec's - Boerne, TX. Pours a clear dark mahogany color with a tight beige head and great retention. Lots of spots of lacing. Dark roasted malt aroma. Dark, almost burnt malt flavor mixed with a slight molasses finish. Semi-creamy, thick enough mouthfeel. Medium＋body. Smooth, but the finish is a tad harsh. The 8.3% ABV is fairly hidden.

Pours dark brown from the can. Creamy, tan head with good retention. Very nice aroma full of rich chocolate, coffee and mild berry notes. Taste is bittersweet with a mild roasted bitterness. Palate is a bit of let down, a touch watery, flabby, and fails to hide the alcohol. Lower than average carbonation—soon feels flat. Overall a let down after a nice start.

Keg at Yard House, Houston. It pours dark brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is rich, earthy roast, loads of coffee grounds, toasted brown bread and bit of meatiness almost. The taste is bitter, earthy roast, charred wood, filter coffee, coffee cake, toasted nut, wood and some alcohol through the finish. Medium - full body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth to it, but enjoyable enough.
