On tap, at brewery. Pours a clear dark brown after the nitro settles out, leaving a one inch thick creamy light brown head. The nose is pretty light, but it’s pretty well as expected. Dry roasty and lightly burnt malt with a light hint of coffee. The flavor is a pretty darn close Guinness clone, a little more flavor though. Dry roasted malt, some coffee, light malt bitterness, a little milk chocolate on the finish. Light bodied, very smooth and easy drinking. This was pretty darn nice, I was not expecing this to be as good as it is. I could drink a few of these I think.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a large creamy beige head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was dryish and roasty with a light coffee undertone. The flavor was bitter, dryish and roasty with notes of coffee, vanilla and wood. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.
