Tap @ Coopersmiths. Dark brown appearance with a pretty small, bubby, light brown head. Burnt, roasty malty, light milky, light chocolate aroma. Roasty, chocolate malty, light bodied, charred flavor. Ok.

Pours with a typical nitro head, body is dark but clear. No appreciable aroma. Taste is initally sour, kinda lactic. Very subdued malts, not really roasty at all. Hops? Sourness dominates, this didn’t do it for me.

The Irish Stout poured an opaque black with a thin, fine, creamy, brown, nitro head that laced the glass. It looked like an ideal stout.

The aroma was subtle roasted malt and coffee.

The taste was sweet malt up front with some sweet cream / milk tones that were almost candy-like. It had a bitter, coffee-like finish and aftertaste that provided a nice balance of sweet and bitter. The mouthfeel was very velvety.

Overall, I thought this was an excellent stout. It may be a little too sweet, but it didn't bother me at all for the one pint I had.
