St. Stan's Dark

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

a dark mahogony laced beer and roasted/burnt malt nose greets you...body is a little on the thin side, but ok...flavor is pretty nicely balanced, but has a slight metallic aftertaste. not bad, not great.

If you judged a book by it's cover, or in this case the beer's appearance, you'd think that you were getting one helluva beer. A beautiful pour with a dark mahogany body with cherrywood edges underneath a rich light tan head. It was a damn shame I had to smell and drink it. Aroma was barely any malts, metallic somewhat with some old wet graineyness. Thin body. Flavors of old cereal, subtle chocolate notes and club soda. Nothing tasty with this and it's easily one of my least favorite beers from these guys to date.

Dark brown color, Medium head. Roasted malts, nearly no hops, little bitterness. Nice, simple beer. Good flavor.

Pours dark brown with a light brown head and some decent lacing. Aroma is exquisite! The aroma has a depth to it that is nearly unmatched! Complex aromas of chocolate, sweet malts and dark fruits abound, pulled together with a note of antique wood and leather. Rich, robust and mysterious...the scent begs me to push onward. Mouthfeel is full, smooth and rich with a nice softness of character. Flavor is rich and dark, with a full-bodied robustness. Chocolate and raisins with a dry, coffee-like bitterness in the finish is what can be expected from this one. Full, rich and robust, with a high drinkability...just about right all around!

Couldn't finish this beer due to the strong "burnt" flavor.
