Nitro pour. Creamy brown head. Aroma of roast and caramel. Taste is roasty, kind of funny burnt. I don’t think it would be as odd if it was not nitro, but I tend to not like the more watery texture of a nitro pour. I’d like to try this with CO2 and see what it’s like then.

Tap at the brewery. Black and thick with a creamy tan head. Dry roasted grain aroma with a touch of chocolate peaking through. Nice roasted grain, chocolate taste and hints of coffee. Body is nice and creamy with a little dryness. Well done brew.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2010 Draft @ Naked City- dense black with creamy tan head; served pretty cold and creamy on first sip; nutty roast and creamy milk chocolate; silky smooth and spot on for the style; doesn’t fall into a super sweet mess; roasty, chocolate, light and smooth; good stuff; I wonder if my hard liver beers are ready yet?

On Nitro tap at Double Mountain Hood River. Pours out a black topped with a tan head. Aroma was of roast malts and a nice coffee presents. Taste was more of the roast, coffee, dark chocolate, that ends with a nice bitter end.
