Like the force of nature it is named for, Tsunami Stout will bowl you over with its jet-black color and dark seductive aroma. Roasted malts and unmalted barley give this full-bodied brew its dense creamy head and distinct dark chocolate and cappuccino flavors that swell to a clean, rounded malty finish. Grab a Tsunami and head for high ground.

Black colored, medium creamy tan head, nice lacing. Aroma is of chocolate, roasted coffee, some caramel. Taste is medium sweet caramel, bit brown sugar, some dark fruits, strong chocolate, roasted malt, dry roasted coffee bitter finish and a lasting aftertaste, some burnt notes. Medium bodied, creamy, soft+ carbonation.

This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a black color with an off white to tan color-ed foamy head that dissipated within less than two minutes. Lacing was super thick and foamy, really clinging to the glass.
The smell started off with big roasty coffee beans running into delicate milk and dark chocolate tones. Light black licorice does end up rounding it out nicely.
The taste was semi-bitter with the roasty and sweet tones of the coffee and chocolate coming in to balance. Light roasty aftertaste rolled into a dry semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good carbonation about it - its fairly smooth and leads to a nice sipping quality about it.
Overall, as a foreign/export stout this one definitely works. I’d have it again.

On tap at Pelican Pub in Pacifc City. Pours a very dark brown with small off white head. The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, burnt sugar. Medium mouth, rich malt, dark chocolate, bitter roast finish, very good.

Bottle, 11C. Bottled 1/15. Label says 7.5% ABV. Black with a tan head that fades fairly quickly but never vanishes. Aroma of mocha, roasted barley, raspberries, blackberries, some molasses. Creamy texture, just mouthfilling. Moderate sweetness, firm but not harsh roasted flavours, chocolate, vanilla, fresh berries. Bitterness creeps up. Not boozy. Not shouty or fancy. Gloriously complete.
