served on a nitro tap.... the style is more suited for such a serving Like the Liftline, the nitro take a little while to calm. Almost black, with some reddish highlights around the sides and bottom of the glass. A creamy, nitro head - khaki. Roasted malts are predominant. Quite a grainy scent, almost burnt. Not too bad... almost wheaty? Scent almost the same as the aroma. Deep roasted, very grainy. Some spent coffee flavours. Suitably creamy... seems like it would be rather thin without, but that’s not the case on this serving, so no points lost there. Carbonation is light. Drinkability is alright, though perhaps not particularly intriguing. Flavour profile is okay, and finishes with a bit of a lingering taste. Worth a try, and the taste sticking around is nice - it could go with a bit more body and sweeter profile, imo.

Pint on tap at Jasper Brewing. Pour was almost black with nitro charged beige head that left some sloppy lacing. Aromas of roasted malts and coffee. Taste is roasted malts and coffee with some trace of hop bitterness in the finish. Body is slightly thin for a stout and carbonation is abundant. Overall, this is not a bad brew, just that there are much better stouts that I have tried.

Nitro. Pint on 6/13/11 at the Jasper Alberta brewpub for around $7.00 CAD Very good.

Had a taster of 6 at the Jasper Brewing Co. Not bitter. Coffee? very good.

Cask@Jasper Brewery Brewpub, Jasper. Black beer with a strongly bubbly brown head. The aroma is gently roasted coffee, and the flavour is weakly bitter and roasted coffee. Overall an average stout, quite weakly flavoured.

***review from June 25, 2007***

Got a wonderful glass with a huge cascading effect. Produced a decent sized solid brown cap that was fairly thick with excellent retention, 360 degree lacing. Brew was not quite black as it had some garnet edging. The aroma was a light chocolate, slight coffee mix that took up most of the aroma. The rest consisted of bold dark roasted malts and probally some hops - still has that brewpub standard aroma. As for the taste - I’m not a fan of this. There is lots of roasted malts and some coffee with minor sweetness but once again - brewpub standard flavour - what ever the hell that is I don’t know. Medium bodied with a very low carbonation content - too bad it comes across a touch on the watery side. Clan and fresh and super dry with a nice mild bitterness left behind. Ended up with a totally filthy glass.

Nitro, at brewpub. Deep brown/blackish colour, ruby highlights. Nice creamy tan cap, stands up well and lasts throughout the glass. Coffee, chocolate/cocoa powder nose. Flavour has chcolate malts, cocoa and roast malts. Dry finish with roasty bitterness. Good, drinkable nitro stout.

Choco and coffee aroma. Pours opaque black, no head. Burnt coffee with some wood notes. Bitter finish.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2009 Rerate from a growler brought to Unity Brew 2009 by Jasper. Much fresher. Decent head and more coffee and no charcoal. Oct 2008.5/2/6/3/10. Growler sold and sealed at the pub. Beer is almost still. Black and thin. Coffee charcoal scent. Flat thin body but with a big burnt coffee flavour. Doesn’t impress but enough to make you want to try at the pub.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color, creamy head. Aroma of wet cardboard. Smooth mouthfeel, the flavor of roasted malt is mild, rounded by the nitro. In the end there is also light liquorice. Drinkable.
