On tap. Pours with a deep brown body with some orange highlights. Lasting (possibly nitro?) tan head. Aromas are of coffee, nutty, bready, cocoa, espresso, earthy, dusty and perhaps a twist of orange peel. Flavors are bready, nutty, earthy cocoa. Very mild roast. Smooth. A bit watery though. Nice malt character, a touch of leather, medium to light bodied, creamy. Easy drinking.

On tap at the midtown location. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, stale coffee, sweet malt. Flavor is roasted, bitter, and chalky. Smooth palate. Decent oatmeal stout, nothing I’m writing home about. 7/4/6/3/13 (3.3/5)

on tap at Midtown HB site. Good off white head. Clear deep amber pour. Quite nice

Taken from notes... Black color, thick and rich half finger tan head with good lacing. Nose is roasted malts and dark chocolate. Taste is a bitter sweetness with good oatmeal, flavors of dark chocolate and raisins, black licorice and anise with sweetness

Sample @ Heartland Times Square. Pours opaque with large foamy head even in the 4oz sample glass. Chocolate aroma; chocolate flavor. Quite drinkable, and very good, but maybe thinner than I expect from a stout.

Draught at Radio City. Dark brown with a brown head. Flavor heavy malty, roasted, light burnt, dark chocolate. Flavor medium sweet and bitter, perfect balanced. Medium body, slight thin. Bravo.

Tap at Empire St. Building location. Pours a dark black with tan head. Some lacing. Roasty nose. Flavor of coffee and chocolate. Seemed relatively light-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. 1st time Kara sampled a stout. She’ll stay with the IPA’s.
