Nice thick dark. I think I prefer this over guinness, but it’s close. Tastes of coffee and oatmeal is present.

Vinegary like especially since they served it cold. It said it was a chocolate stout but it was not like any chocolate stout I have ever had. Slightly better as it warms then you can get some of the malt and caramel.

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a black body and a small, light brown head. Sweet chocolate taste with some bitter coffee notes with maybe some oatmeal or something grainy. Coffee, sugar and cinnamon in the aroma.

On tap at brewery. Good coffee and malt caramel on the nose. Decent bitters on the finish. However, very astringent and biting. Very odd taste and coating on the tongue. Too bad since it smell and looked the part.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color. Light mouthfeel, but a very good mix of dark caramel and roasted malt. Good dry stout.
