This was the second beer I homebrewed back towards the end of January. There were a few samplings throughout the early spring that didn't taste too well so I figured I'd let it sit for a little more and taste it then. Well, there's barely a difference. This is a very disapointing attempt at a stout on my part. To start, it has no head. It pours with a very slight head which quickly fades away within 5 seconds. The smell is all crappy malt with a slight hint of the sweet brown sugar I brewed it with. The taste is all malt with no hops (even though I dry hopped) and a slight taste of sweetness and coffee. It finishes with nothing though leaveing much to be desired. Overall, this beer sucks and I hope to unload it on whoever comes by my apartment so I don't have to drink anymore. It was a big step back from my successful first home brew (Pilsner) and leaves the Gallagher Brewing Co. in need of a really good third brew. Will it happen? Only time will tell.
