I purchased the Dundee in a mixed 12-pack. I did the same thing over a year ago and received the porter...this time the Stout.
The appearance is nice, dark and dense with a hue of reddish when held up to the light. The fragrance from this brew was not very exceptional. If anything, my nose is a bit weak, but I only smelled maltiness. The taste was average to good. The flavors are mixed between a bitter molasses and somthing else. I read some others tasted chocolate, for me it was not powering. Mouthfeel is average at best. I could consume a few of these, but if I had other Stouts available I would switch off. Overall, I thought this drink was good, but not great. Definitely worth a try to those of you with superior tasting skills!

Looks the part with a very dark brown hue with ruby highlighting. A creamy one inch light tan head, but it didn't seem to want to stick around long. Molasses and bitter chocolate in the nose. Bitter chocolate is the most potent flavor. It then fades into a roasted coffee. The flavor is quite nice, but it's just too thin for me. I'd drink it again.

Poured into a nonic.

Pours a black in color with faint amber near the edges. Initially the head is big and fizzy, but quickly fades into a thin, wispy layer that sits on top.

Smells of sweet molasses and a hint of dark chocolate and mild chicory.

Molasses and roasted malts, mild chocolate and some coffee-like bitterness at the end. Overall, is a bit too mild with the flavors being there, but not pronounced enough.

Thick and smooth with nice carbonation.

Not too bad overall, but not a big stout. A nice introduction to the style for the uninitiated.

12 oz. Part of a 12 of Stout, Pale Bock, Kolsh and IPA. Expectations are low, so let's see.

Dark brown pour, not real opaque, small ring of off white head.

Aroma is pretty subdued, toasted malt, light chocolate and caramel. Not bad, but not very strong at all.

Taste matches, nothing offensive, but not very pallete exciting either. EXTREAMELY light roast, milk choc and caramel like flavors. Finishes very light sweetness, not much really.

Very drinkable, kind of like a stout light or brown light really. Light side of medium bodied. More carbonation than I would prefer also.

Nothing to go out of your way for, but an ok effort for a large brewer.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle sampled on April 15, 2010. My beer for tax day. The pour is a very dark brown to just about black and the only way to catch some ruby hues is by holding it to the light. The head is about a quarter-inch thick of silky light brown. The aroma is rich in dark roasted chocolate with a distant backgound of cherry and malts. Not a lot of hoppiness in the scent. The body was bold but not heavy. The taste swirled with roasted sweet malts and chocolate coated with a faint smoky sensation. Extremely drinkable. I enjoyed this stout quite a lot and I think it is one of the better Dundee family brews I have tried.

I poured into a pint glass to a thin skim of brown head. It is black in color. It has a dark chocolate, Reisen candy smell. The taste has coffee and dark chocolate. It is way better than I anticipated. I guess that's why I try 'em. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but other than that it is a surprisingly good beer. It's the best Dundee I've had to date.

Cheers!

Pours a pitch black color with a brown one-finger head into my glass. Looks about right for the style.

Aroma is full of a hint of roasted coffee and a hint of chocolate as well. Not too powerful aroma-wise.

Taste is full of cream with a slight hint of coffee/cocoa. Surprisingly silky and slightly thin in the middle.

Mouthfeel is full of lingering cream and cocoa, which stand out the most. Certainly delicious.

Not bad. It's drinkable but my only gripe is that it could have been slightly thicker.

Pours dark brown, almost black with a tan head that quickly goes away, leaving some side lacing.
Smell is of coffee and mollasses, burn notes no hops noticable on the nose.
Not at all thick like most stouts with a creamy light mouth feel, which for some will be a negative. A little to thin for it to be rated a real good stout but I liked it despite having lighter characterics than its stout style would suggest.
