Wonderful yeasty, malty, hoppy aromas. Hazy peach color with a stable, frothy white head that laces. Moderate body with very mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is lightly sweet malt, with distinct spice notes, and possibly floral/herbal hop - could be noble hop. The finish is dry as advertised. All in all it is a very entertaining and tasty little ale. The relatively low alcohol is a plus in this instance - does not interfere with the sensations.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, dark brown with an orangey hue and a dense, creamy, beige head that leaves laces. Sweetish aroma of dried fruit and roasted malt. Quite full-bodied with plenty of roasted malt, fruit, dried fruit and overripe fruit. Soft and smooth mouthfeel, but no bitterness to speak of. 281107

At the Vintage Estates Octoberfest Beer tasting festival. Now I’m not sure how this is rated as a stout because I never tasted a stout like this before. Looks like rootbeer. Interesting nifty aroma like cola soda pop, quite attractive and makes my mouth water. Initial taste is pretty strong, more than I anticipated from the smell. Barely any carbonation in this brew. Quite alky and malty bitter. Whiskey flavors within. Quite a beer, but probably not a stout! Possible and imp stout, but not a stout. Finish is lingering malt bitter. In the ’stout’ category, sammy smiths blows this away.
