Sample at the brewpub. This Stout pours nearly black with ruby around the edges. Foamy and thin beige head that burns away steadily, and a sheet of lacing. Roasty aroma of malt and coffee. Medium, dry body with flavors of coffee, roasted malt and some hops. The finish is dry and roasty with notes of coffee and bready malt, with a mild hops aftertaste left over. Above average overall, but not by a lot.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear amber/honey color with a wispy off-white head that burns away to an outer ring quickly. Spotty top ring of lace on the glass. Sweet honey and malt aroma. Light body with a sweet honey character, and flavors of malt and some floral hops. The finish is sweet and malty with a short honey aftertaste. Fairly one-dimensional overall.
