Robust mahogany-hued lactose stout integrates abundant bittersweet chocolate-milked creaminess with nutty hop-seared espresso-coffee richness. Chewy fudge center procures molasses-thick cookie dough bulwark protecting honey-roasted oats, assuaged dried fruits and zippy cola-hazelnut snip against acrid tobacco-chawed charcoal-tar bittering. Even a hint of anisette sneaks into the mix.

Dry mahogany-hued ruby-highlighted milk stout retains bittersweet dark chocolate stickiness, overripe black cherry whirl, and thick lactose tag. Roasted coffee bean, toasted oats, and hazelnut offer sullen sequel for excellent nightcap.

Maroon-hued Irish-styled dry stout furnishes dark chocolate drift and bitter coffee caress with charcoal smokiness resonating to acrid black cherry sedation. Brewery defunct: 2007.

Hearty wood-burnt stout with aromatic coffee pungency, pliable bitter mocha resolve, and buttery cocoa repose. Bittersweet chocolate, black cherry, and raisin gain extremely dry affluence by lingered rich coffee finish.

Artificially sweetened coffee palate, chalky cocoa follow-up and chewy chocolate spell depleted by sharp astringency as well as watery flow. Light caramel dusting at sulky finish fades out. A tepid stout lacking richness and complexity.

Tempting dry-bodied mahogany-hued lactose stout leads with powdery cocoa spell deepening hop-roasted macadamia cluster. Dampening astringent black licorice finish confounds winningly sugared brown chocolate sweetness.

Chewy autumnal stout with dry malt sweetness, maple influence and blackened mocha singe. Stove-burnt coffee bitterness and chocolate cookie thickness provide further thirst-craving full-bodied richness. Dark caramel shadows oats-flaked sourdough follow-through. Not as creamy or memorable at the finish as most first class stouts, but fine nonetheless.

Nicknamed “Lion Stout,”  brown-bodied barleywine-like Caribbean backs sugary sweet soda-like flow with boorish malt roast and toffee stickiness. But instead of depending on traditional mocha-like stout character, its medicinally cloy finish comes up too lame to be the wild beast its moniker pertains to.

Perhaps spoofing Bugs Bunny’s ‘duck season/ rabbit season’ cartoon segment, this Carolinian brewers’ full-bodied lactose-aided jet black stout takes burnt coffee insurgence to oats-charred dark chocolate milking and dry roasted grain mellowing. Polite bitter-hopped toasting corresponds to coffee bean duration, picking up almond-walnut illusions and char-coaled pine tar smidgen for earthy bottom, but mild finish counters dark mocha flavoring with brisk fresh water cleanness.

Phenol prune-hued dry stout gains toasted malt assertion and prickly hop fizz to contrast creamy coffee bean, espresso and black chocolate vibe. Defiant black tar finish embitters subsidiary roasted nuttiness.

Thin mahogany-hued disappointment with oily 9% alcohol diffidence suffers from dank mildewed malting and dirty graining. Coarse resinous hop roast soaks up cola nut glance, tepid lactose trickle, and latent red wined acidity.

Creamy sugar malt opening simmers to caramel-burnt cocoa mouthfeel and oatmeal-dried raisin complement for lactose milk stout excellence. Yummy ‘tootsie roll’ sweetness absorbs tamped down hop dryness to sweet whiskey finish.
