Enjoyed on tap at Frank’s Power Plant in Milwaukee, WI, where my band played a show. Appearance a rather dark caramel with thin white head. Aroma mostly malt with a faint hop backing. Taste is pretty heavy for an IPA, just very bready with rich malts and a hop backing. Decent but a gut buster.

New rating, Oct. 6, 2020. This is for a full bottle, so it's worth a re-rate. Porterish brown color, under a short layer of tan foam. Smell has light roasted coffee matching some dark roast grains. Taste is more of an American style stout, dry and roasty, with coffee adding a bit of a complement. Coffee comes up a little more strongly in the aftertaste. Alcohol is not very big, which makes this bomber bottle just about the right size. Decided to notch the appearance up a point from my original rating. Original rating May 13, 2011. Sampled at DLD 2011. Rather light for a stout, kind of brown. Sudsy porter head. A nice sweet coffee smell. Quite sweet taste, more of a coffee cordial. Goes down very nicely.

Single 12 oz. bottle, $1.50 @ Woodman’s. Pretty bright Irish red pour, just a few tiny floaties suspended with little bubble action, but a light, clingy head. Some slurry or yeast in the bottom of the bottle. Not much aroma, just a light caramel malt smell. Taste is okay, some toasty grains with a little peat, and maybe a bit too sweet for my palate. Nothing off about it,I’m just not that into it.

Bottle: Poured hazy deep brown color stout with a nice foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry and aromatic coffee with nice roasted malt with slight bitter aftertaste. Taste is also a nice mix with some quite dry bitter note of coffee with some aromatic notes of coffee and light roasted malt. Body is a bit light with great carbonation. Well brewed and easily drinkable without too much complexity.
