Looks like a stout should... held up to the light it has a nice brownish-burgundy hue. Bit of a sweet aroma, some burnt aromas. Pleasant bitter flavours. Coffee flavours, a bit of a tinny taste as well, could have been the nitro-can though.

seymour (608) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Tasted from nitro-can into standard pint glass. Poured a very dark reddish-brown color with some chill haze and thick, creamy beige head, somewhat lasting with lace. Aromas of grain, bread, roasted barley and some fruity ale yeast esters. Flavors of fresh black bread, toast, black coffee and dark chocolate, a little caramel, nuts, molasses, some apricots, plums and sour cherries. Medium body. Round, roasty mouthfeel. Dry but not harsh or astringent. Very smooth, fruity aftertaste. Delicious.

Comparable to Guinness. Had this in Dublin. Smooth , creamy and easy to drink. No carbonation. Mild and dark with a burnt hoppy taste . Good stuff.
