Alpine Beer Company Captain Stout

The Captain is leader of a fire crew. This beer takes charge of your taste buds with its rich flavor. Roasty malt character that has hints of chocolate and coffee which balances the smooth, velvety finish. The thick, creamy head lasts and lasts, leaving lace in your glass as your beer disappears. This beer pairs well with food. Great with dinner or as breakfast or even with a rich vanilla-bean ice cream.

3.5 Most underwhelmed I have been for a really good beer. iPad are unreal, this is really good.

3.8 On draught. Pours black,with a moderate khaki head that lasts, leaving good lacing. Nose is a faint aroma of malt and cocoa. Taste follows, but is more pronounced. Well made Imperial Stout, but not outstanding.

3.6 Rating #1570 - 20.03.2015 - Birthday Brew Tour Stop #3 - On tap at Green Flash. Dark, dark brownish copper poor with a weak tan foam that bubbles away super quickly. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, and caramel. Taste is roast malts, with a hint of caramel sweetness. Overloaded with toasted malt and bitterness, well balanced Irishesque stout.

4.5 Taps rich coffee brown with a nice tan head. Aroma presents roast malt, coffee, chocolate and molasses tones. Flavor pleases with roast malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee, earthy, and subtle molasses tones. Mouthfeel has firm, velvety smooth body yet plenty of fizz. Fit for a captain!

4.2 from tap to growler to wine glass Appearance: pours black, very dark Smell: not much aroma, slight toasted grain Taste: very good, well balance Fell: very good Overall: Very good beer

4.4 Complex, vanillaish, and super smooth. Had it with french toast and it was quiet an experince!

3.7 4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey, consumed on 9/11/2015. Black with light tan head. Aromas of licorice, roast, chocolate. Tastes of roast, coffee, dark chocolate. Medium-light body with a dry finish.

3.7 Draught at The Beer Trappe. Dark pour. Medium to thin body. Big roasty nose. Chocolate. Nice.

3.6 Small shaker showing a black center, coffee rims, and spare latte colored foam. The nose shows a lot of roasted malt darkness. the palate is very light bodied with a lot of chocolate immediately noticeable and a roasted malty bitterness on the finish. A bit too light for a stout but still pretty good.

3.5 draft that poured a medium brown with white head. really not sure you can call this a stout versus a black ipa. if its a stout then the flavor is all wrong if its a black ipa then you are right on target medium roasted malt base with a huge hop nose. the flavor is more of the same nice hoppy flavor start to finish on a medium roasted malt base evenly balanced but you need to get the style right.

3.2 Draft. Dark brown color, brown head. Lots of ashy, roasty coffee, malt with a bit of chocolate and toffee. Dry, dry finish. Nothing too extraordinary, but when you want a 6% stout...

3.5 Draft at fireworks pizza Leesburg. Pours black with an inch of khaki foam. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Some solid pine on the nose along with some roasted notes. A bit hop forward on the tongue for my taste but still flavorful and balanced. Finished clean.

3.0 Drank on tap at Backyard Ale House in Scranton, Pa. Pours a nice deep, dark, brown/black color with very little light brown head. Smells of chocolate and malts. A good brew, a little off putting taste in the beginning that grows on you.

3.9 Draft at Bricks. Pours dark brown with nice tan head and lacing. Nose is chocolate and roast. Taste is mostly roast with a little coffee. Good stout.

4.6 This beer is named for fire crews. It’s appropriate this time of year because of all the work those people are doing 24/7 around here right now. It’s an excellent Stout. Couldn’t really get much better. Just needs more alcohol (make it Imperial).

4.5 Really good! Fairly dry, roasty, hint of smoke & tang. Plenty bitter. Fairly clean. Great appearance with a long lasting head & lots of lace. Suggestions of vanilla in finish.
