Black Hawk Stout retains the big traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout and yet offers a refreshing dry crispness that is rare in many dark beers. "Bottle Conditioned" Black Hawk Stout is replete with a rich, roasted malt flavor that makes this not-so-heavy stout, creamy and ever so smooth. It has a subtlety that surprises and converts even the most reticent stout drinker.

Bottle in our appartment, Kanapali Beach Maui, from Wine Corner Paia 25/04/14. Black with a moderate tan covering that retains well. Nose is bitter roast, earthy cocoa, slight lactic ring, molasses, dark berry fruits. Taste comprises light sweet lickings, chocolate dipped raspberries, toffee fudge, dark berry fruit twang, light roast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok dry stout, this was the best beer by some way of a mediocre triumvirate from Mendocino.

355 ml bottle. Very dark brown body, almost black with a nice finger thick lacing tan head. Nice, relatively strong aroma of mocha, coffee and moderate roasted dark malt. Medium sweet, moderate roasted malt flavor with hint of vanilla and some fruity hops. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste. Quite nice, drinkable, more than less standard dry stout with nothing extraordinary going on.

Bottle at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Dark brown with reddish tint, beige foamy head, slight caramel aroma, cherry-caramel taste, low carbonation, medium finish. Not bad for a stout, but not great either.

Bottle, 12oz. A dark brown one, clear looking, and topped by a dense, dark beige head. Lots of mocha on the nose, caramel too, but not much else. The flavor is equally unintersting and one dimensional, a little bitterness showing up to keep the cocoa and chocolate company. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Roasted, dry finish. A rather boring one. 131231
