"looks great, but it's an odd one. a dry stout, but not in the irish style, so what you end up with is a somewhat hoppy, but still thin, west coast style stout. not bad at all, but not anything special. like shakespeare stout's redheaded stepchild."

[2] Review by jerrymorrison from lockhart, TX, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/17/2008 5:30:18 PM)
"Sierra nevada delivers again, thier porter used to be my favorite but it has some competiton from thier stout. Speaking of thier stout it pours a dark black body with adequate carbonation, a thick tan head that disappates fairly quick and it leaves good lace. Aroma of toasted malts and a slight hint of fruit. Flavor of chocolate hits first, then the toasted malts creep in with fruits present in the background. The mouthfeel is slightly bitter and it has a dry finish. Overall a pretty good stout, another good beer from sierra nevada."

"I love the stouts and porters so I find it hard to rate one down. This has the opague, black body. The head is frothy on pour but has little retention. The nose is a little too subtle but the flavor more than makes up for it with a nice mix of roasted malt, caramel, coffee and yes, some bittering."

"poured solid black with a thin tight khaki colored head that quickly dissapeared the aroma is chocolate and some faint coffe notes the flavor is rich in chocolate malts with a bready yeast and slight coffe undertone that stays withyou the mouthfeel is carbonated and smooth without the strong bite that comes with other stouts one of my favorites by far"
