Tap. Very dark with mocha dissipating head and decent lacing. Smells roasty and nutty. Tastes toasty and lightly bitter. Moderate bitter finish.

A deep dark stout with a thin moka head. In aroma, a nice chocolate with light woody notes, vanilla. In mouth, a bitter woody chocolate with light vanilla beans and intense bitterness, again, unbalanced. On tap at the brewpub, July 30 2011.

This is an oak-aged version of their Hanso Stout. Dark, almost opaque black color, small beige head. Coffee, caramel, licorice. Light to medium bodied. Funny papery licorice powder flavor. This is an oak-aged beer but has only a tiny amount of woody flavor. Palate is watery, much more than 6.4% indicates.
