SKA Steel Toe Stout

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Dark brown pour with a dark tan head that settles and leaves a ring on the top of the glass. No lacing. Milk chocolate, roasted malt and sweet lactose aroma. Sugary malt flavor with chocolate and notes of coffee. A bit on the thin side. Above average Milk Stout, but nothing to write home about.

A black body with a big robust brown head rising above. It settles quickly leaving a light film and thin ringlet behind. The total notes are of milk chocolate against a base of roasted malt. Light-moderate body.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown-black with a thin head that quickly goes to a thin collar that leaves little lacing.

The aroma is roasted grains, chocolate, and some coffee.

The flavor is roasted malts, some sweet lactic chocolate and a touch of coffee with a medium acidic roasted bitter finish that lingers nicely. The mouthfeel is medium to full with smooth carbonation.

Overall, I liked this stout - lots of nice roast and coffee. A nice surprise. I'll have to pick up more of this.

Sampled on 4/20/2009. This sweet stout pours a deep black color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized off-white foamy head with a quickly disappearing head. The aroma is chocolate and coffee. A medium bodied sweet stout. The malts are chocolate and coffee, roasty malts with some sweetness. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. The roasty/bitterness at the start is offset by the sweetness at the finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Pours dark brown with a thin off white head. Smells of cocoa, some dark fruit. Tastes of sweet malt, tarte, some raisins, molasses. What's with the tartness in all their stouts and porters?

Aroma was nice it had a sweetness to it. The color poured jet black with very little head to start then it became a little frothy with zero lacing. The mouthfeel was flat like most stouts. It had a milky very sweet taste(sugar taste). I am not a big fan of this one.

Bottle from no idea where. Pour was pitch black, very small initial head, weak lacing, steady retention of a thin ring around the edges. The aroma was milky, chocolate. Flavor was chalky milk chocolate, very faint vinous notes with higher temperatures. Not sticky sweet, faint oxidation (in a not bad way, though), but a tad watery in the flavor department. Mouthfeel was moderate for th estyle, flat.
