12oz bottle. Opaque black color with a fluffy white-tan head. Great chocolate aroma. Rich, chocolaty,and roasty, but still remains soft on the palate and quite drinkable. Good stuff.

12oz bottle from drewbeerme. Clear, filtered brown color. Aroma is metallic, empty chestnut. A bit of syrupy bark as well. That translates to the flavor and finishes with a weird sweetness, very artificial. Otherwise, rather unremarkable. I have a new name for GI, the Saranac of the mid-west.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. 2008. Labeled Bourbon County Brand Stout 13%. Very brown black color that shows ruby at the edges (halogen) with a tan head that never really existed. Aromas of alcohol, bourbon, dark fruit, toasted malt and maybe wood. Full bodied with very mild carbonation. Flavor is bourbon, wood, raisin prune and chocolate. Probably other stuff too. Dates? Quite complex. There is sugar, but it’s not sticky sweet. Isn’t dry either. It’s quite a beer.

Bottle at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Reddish brown colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with nuts, dark fruit, orange peel, raspberries, rose-hip and spices. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dark fruit, nuts, toffee, caramel, citrus peel and a spicy, fairly harsh, bitterness in the finish. Medium body, rather sweet. Nice and spicy. In short: nuts, toffee and caramel in a spicy mix.

A color black as the night, and a thick, brown head. A thick aroma of coffee, burnt sugar and chocolate. The taste is sweet, with rasins, coffee, chokolate and bourbon.

12oz bottle. Deep black-brown color, moderately foamy head. Sweet toffee and dark malt aromas. Mild chocolate malt flavors, very drinkable. Full bodied mouthfeel. More porter like than most browns. Good, but not great.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange tan color, looks unfiltered to me. Lots of English malt character, maybe a pinch of amber malt in the aroma, with a pleasant moderate hop balance. Malty sweet, medium bodied, subtle crisp hop bite. An all around good session beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café & Bryggeri, Stockholm. Clear amber, firm creamy head. Sweaty mango aroma. Medium sweet with chewy rounded mouthfeel. Some sugar, lots of tropical fruits .Solid body and a finish with above medium bitterness. A hop driven, yet well balanced very American style ale. Really good!
