Nitro tap at the brewpub. poured a nearly opaque black color with orange highlights. Head was thick and light tan with good retention and lacing. Dry with light roasty malt flavor on the tongue. Very smooth nitro mouth feel. No appreciable bitterness. Not bad.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nitro pour on draft at the brewery. Redminds me very very much of guiness in the fact that it is very creamy, a bit dry, a bit roasty, but overall pretty light. I’d have to say though thtat I found it very drinkable and enjoyable. Perfect for a nice Napa night.

Had on tap at the brewpub in Napa. Dark black nitro pour with a thick creamy mocha colored head. Good dry flavor with some roasted notes, a bit of chicory and some faint traces of bittersweet chocolate. Thick creamy mouthfeel. Good one to finish up the sampler with.
