tap. best one I tried. midnight black. thin mocha head. sweet oats, chocolate, mild coffee and sourness in aroma. creamy mouth. well hopped. coffee grinds, mild chocolate, light nuttiness.

Draft @ brewpub. Black, pitch and opaque. Stable tan/brown head. Mild oatmeal stout true to style. Soft, creamy, with good roast character. Some vanilla. Soft. Good balance and great example.

Very dark brown. Rich, chocolatey, oaty, hoppy nose...appetizing. Light, easy-drinking body. Creamy. Moderate bitterness. Complex chocolate malts, and maybe even a hint of minerals. Good stout.

Pours a dark black brown color with a small tan head. Notes of smoke, chocolate, booze, and vanilla. Smooth supple Mouthfeel with a nice finish length.

On tap at the Carver Brew Pub in Durango. Poured a deeper brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of oats, roasty, and chocolate. Tastes of oats, the same roastiness, chocolate, and lighter coffee.

On tap @ Carvers poured a nearly opaque brownish black with a lasting creamy amber head. Aromas of roasted malt, a hint of chocolate and coffee. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of dark chocolate, roasted malt and coffee with a dry bitter finish.

1/2 Gallon Growler. Black with a small, filmy light tan head. Small malt driven aromatics (coffee, burnt malts, chocolate). Diverse range of malt flavor, while the smoothness and drinkability made the entire growler pretty easy to devour. Light chocolate, currant and coffee flavor with a touch of grapefruit on the back of the tonque. An enjoyable brew.

Black with a tan head. Buttery, yeasty aroma. Mild carbonation, cherry, butter, and vanilla flavors evident. Some malt body in the finish, but far too much of a butter presence.
