12oz Bottle Brougth back from NC thanks to a good beer mule. Pours out a dark clear brown topped with a sandy head. A nice sweet aroma of bitter chocolate and a little smoke. Tast of light sweetness some good roast malt. Not as thick as I was thinking it would have been. Overall pretty tasty.

Bottle, thx to the_epeeist. It pours a dark golden to copper body, with a lovely, dense, off-white head. It has a malty-sweet nose with a fruity hoppyness, but it’s not as pronounced as I could wish for. The flavor is sweet and malty as well, with a fruityness from the hops, but maybe a bit low on hops, even though I tend to like the barley wines on the sweet and malty side. Full body, maybe a bit sticky in the mouth. The bitterness in this beer is most evident in the long finish. Having this after Victory Old Horizontal was a little down-trip, and maybe not fair to the beer, but it’s far from being bad though. Very far. (071123)

Bottle. The sweet milk sugar is the first thing I noticed when I took a whiff of this stout. Though the sweet side dominates, it is nicely balanced with bitter and stout dryness. The pour reveals a dark but not opaque brown/black body. The head is average sized and a fizzy light brown. The aroma is sweet with molasses and milk chocolate. Some roasted malts and grain follow, along with vanilla and a faint scent of coffee. The flavor is moderately sweet, but finishes moderately bitter and dry. Medium body, lively carbonation. The texture is quite smooth. Enjoyable.

Pours clear mahogany with an off-white head. The aroma is largely dried fruit with some caramel, but there is a fishy aroma thing going on here that detracts in a big way. Smooth, slightly sweet. Not much complexity here.

Bottle. Sweet backbone rounds out a nicely balanced porter. Inviting appearance with large, tan head atop a dark brown body. Aroma is sweet with toffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic and lightly to moderately bitter. Sweet finish. Medium body with lively carbonation so much carbonation, in fact, that flavors are muted by it. Watery texture. Nice porter.

Hazy red to dark amber color; nice creamy head and lace. Powerful aroma, malty and sweet, with a touch of apples. Very sweet flavor, malty, with a touch of wood (at least bringing in some light astringency to counterbalance). A bit off track, but very enjoyable for me.

Black color; generous creamy head. Nice aroma, coffeish, creamy. Thick body, quite oily, strong chocolate and dark caramel flavor, some roasted malt too, a hint of liquorice and cinnamon; everything is very well mixed. Strong final, well bitter; if I can just dislike something, it’s a bit of sourness in the end. Powerful, excellent.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is deep brown with ruby highlights and a nice looking 3 inch khaki head. Really good retention. Aroma of some nutty (almost almondy) malts and tobacco or smoke. Taste reveals some milk sourness, along with the nutty-roasted malt. Some of the woody smoke tobacco comes through in the flavor, causing it to be very dry. Unique stout.
