Jun 4, 2008 Side-by-side of the regular draft and the cask version, at the brewpub, pre-Noogfest. Pours blackish brown with tan head. The aroma is slightly roasty with some char and bitter chocolate, and the cask version sports a bit of woody sweetness. The flavor is roasty bitterness with some dry hoppiness and a little bit of root flavor. Lactose sweetness is more evident in the cask offering, as is a bit of vanilla and wood. Both are pretty drinkable.

Mar 31, 2008 Tap. Heavy smells of toasted and espresso, and a light resin smell, with wood in the background. Head massive, thick, creamy, light brown, with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. Also lacking a bit on depth, but mostly a well crafted stout.
