The days are shorter, the nights are colder, the stars are brighter, and the beers are bolder. Island’s Brewing Company Brewmaster Paul Wright took an abundance of roasted grains to brew a foreign style stout that sustains complex malt flavors, a prominent roasted malt finish and just enough hop bitterness to balance the big and bold flavors within this limited release edition. Enjoy the hints of chocolate, the smoky essence, as well as the bracing effects and count yourself among the privileged few.

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 5

    Pours with a black body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is farely good with a slight sweetness and note of bitter roastiness. The flavor is slightly sweet yet bitter with notes of malt and a smokey/roasty note as well as a creamy acidic note. Definately infected as was other bottles I’ve had from them. I can see their potential, but until I have a bottle that isn’t infected they will continue to get the ratings they do from me.

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    Dark black color. Large sized beige head. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. A medium bodied stout. Malts are chocolate and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Kind of lactic and a touch buttery and they kind of dominate the flavor. There is a lot of roasty malt and dry stout flavors here, but they kind of get overwhelm with the off flavors. I’ve noticed that their beers tend to be really variable in quality. I wonder if they have a bottling line problem. Sure seems so. Very nice artwork on the etched/painter beer bottle. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and a touch harsh.
