pint @ brewpub. Ok aroma, sweet, roasted malt, milk chocolate. Brownish black color, Good head & lace. Bitter sweet flavor, like aroma, Roasty chocolaty. Medium body, smooth creamy mouth feel, clean dry finish. Tasty, easy to drink stout, Appearance was the best part, not a strong aroma or robust flavor, a classic stout. Nothing to separate it from others, a textbook stout if that makes any sense.
