Cellar temp
Pours very deep red, clear, big tan foam that effervesces, stays, laces
Aroma dark caramel chocolate, hint of coffee, subtle earth hop
Mouthfeel, moderate to heavy, roasty coating, carb is too lively
Flavor coffee roast mainly with slight sweet malty edge, light astringency around the edges but not overwhelming or annoying. Nice crisp bitterness at end.
Finish, roasty coating cut by hop bitterness.
Overall, more of a robust porter than a stout, really lacking the tooth/depth of a stout. Fairly pleasant, but has an odd edge on the roast, hard to pinpoint, possibly dirty yeast, more likely just the roast flavors.
