Sample at the brewpub on 8/29/11. Pours darkest brown with a medium tan head. Strong hazelnut aroma with chocolate, some roast and very slight Belgian esters. Hazelnut dominates much of the flavor as well, accompanied by vanilla chocolate with slight esters before a roasty hazelnut coffee finish.

Growler thanks to a good friend of mine and filled to the brim as opposed to his own growler which was only filled half-way. Lol... Pours a deeper black stouty pour with less intense edges and topped with a thn to medium creamy light beige head that takes a while to fade away... Aroma of sweet mocha, roast, and a vanilla but hazelnut profile. Solid with a nice added nuttiness... Flavors are a continuation of the same with a mostly sweet stout profile to go alongside an assertive roast and hazelnut essence which is nicely accentuated. Smooth medium bodied throughout with a semi-lively level of carbonation. As it warms more of an astringency and booziness surfaces. Pretty nicely executed overall.
