500ml bottle shared by blankboy with me and garthicus. Deep ruby-black, small but last lasting light brown creamy head. Nutty and dry aroma, mild alcohol, mild lactose, some coffee. Taste - same, a bit of chocolate, creamy --- smooth. Frothy, creamy, dry .... ah hell, I’m drunk, but this was pretty good.

On tap at the brewpub, sample size. I enjoyed all of the beers I had at the brewpub, and this one iss no exception. It is a great stout with a nice complexitity and balance. Roasted malts and hops are mixed with coffee and chocolate, in a not too bitter, not too sweet beer. Fizzyness is kept one the low, so it goes down (too) easily).

Black. Small but think and persistent tan/brown head, huge retention. Aroma is dominated by notes of wood and chocolate. Taste is dark chocolate and dark fruits (blackberries?). Moderately bitter, slightly bready as well. Will have it again.
