Battlefield Stout from Madison Brewing Company
9 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a rich brown color with a finger’s worth of light tan foamy head that glistened and fell off at a moderate pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had a nice big roastiness to it up front. Milk chocolate and some light coffee grounds play the second part in this section. Some dark chocolate and a little bit of cream slide in underneath.
The flavor leaned in on the sweetness at first and then allowed a nice roastiness come in with a little bit of toast, and slight earthy components. Not much of an aftertaste but has a nice low key semi-sweet finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a nice relaxed smooth feature flowing over the roast, nice and controlled. ABV felt good and so was the carbonation.
Overall, nice sweet stout well worthy of having again.

Honey Brown from Madison Brewing Company
9 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark amber close to brown color with a cap of a little white foamy head that dissipated at a moderate pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had a good dose of caramel/toffee malts covering some nuts, semi-roasty with some bitterness from some earthy/grassy hops. Light spice.
The flavor leaned into the sweetness and then a gentle roast came in for a good balance. Nice lingering roasty to malty smooth aftertaste rolling into the finish in the same way.
The feel leads with a medium body and had a soft carbonation. Malts smooth things out nicely without any cloying effects.
Overall, nicely done brown ale well worthy of having again.

Irish Stout from Madison Brewing Company
9 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance had a slight dark brown color almost close to black in color with a finger’s worth of a tan head. Slowly dissipates to leave some sly lace.
The aroma takes on some roasty coffee beans, good layer of milk chocolate, slight cream and some earthy dry nuttiness.
The flavor opens up with the blend between the previously mentioned aromas to gently glide on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation felt fine against the ABV. All seemed well.
Overall, good Irish dry stout that I could have again.

Belgian Ale from Madison Brewing Company
10 years ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 4.5
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt orange color with little to no head. Basically, just a cap that immediately just slides away. No lace.
The aroma has some tart to sour dried fruitiness (somewhat like peach and cherry).
The flavor tries to come together. But a somewhat tangy to sour aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Sessionable, hmmmm...somewhat but that strong tangy to tart and sourness punches my tongue pretty harshly. Somewhat hard to get all of the way down my throat.
Overall, Belgian ale? Somewhat, but that sourness seems a bit uncontrolled and doesn’t seem to want to stay together.
