North Coast Old No. 38 Stout

4.2/5

AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours dark brown with a nice 2 finger tan head with very good retention that reduces to a lacing cap. Some very nice lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of a ton of molasses, coffee, chocolate, caramel, and toffee. Taste of molasses, caramel, chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. The finish was pretty dry as expected, but there is some slight chocolate, caramel, and coffee notes the linger very slightly after the finish. Also a slight amount of bitterness on the finish as well. Medium body and carbonation, with a creamy mouthfeel. A very tasty and impressive Dry Stout, and I would definitely pick up a pack of this in the future. Delicious.

Fantastic offering from North Coast, can't wait to try more of their lineup.
