Very lightly spiced. A medium body, with some bitter hops. Yellow. The only spice I could pick up was pepper. These guys do some interesting beers, and brought none of them to the ’05 ABR.

Foamy head and clear golden body - very high carbonation - barely perceptible aroma of honey and grain - thin bodied, watery flavor, some grain and slight hops - pretty bland and uninteresting.

A black beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted, while the flavor is sweet roasted combined with notes of wood, prunes and chocolate.

I suggest this is a fruit beer, as the presence of the fruit is impossible to miss. Clear with no head. Aroma of peach, and the taste of peach as well. Also some wheat. Smooth, a little sweet.

One of the highlights of the 2004 Autumn Beer Review. The aroma was coffee and mint. The beer is black with a tan head. the taste is coffee and mint again, just like the name says. Mint is subtle and works well in this beer. Full bodied.

Rhoades Scholar poured with a strong baker's chocolate aroma, with burnt roasted malt and perhaps a touch of licorice as well. Body is dark brown/red with a thin light tan head. Flavor is ever so complex, even though the body is rather thin: roasted malt, chocolate, a touch of vanilla, and caramel finishing with very distinct coffee bean notes. Dark fruit swirls in the background. Aftertaste is almost too fudgy! Reminds me of Mackeson XXX Stout. Liquid chocolate. Thanks Mike (BBB63) for this excellent stout!

Thanks to hey_kevin for sending this my way! This is a very impressive Stout. Pours the requisite deep dark color with a lasting medim thick light brown head. Nice roasted coffee aroma with a little hops. Warm and pleasant coffee and malt flavor. I really liked this one.
