Nitro... RBSG ‘08... Pitch black with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Forever retention... not fair, nitro stuff always looks great! Sweet, roasted aroma. Light bodied and ultra-creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. The well-balanced, but very reserved flavor, leans slightly on the sweet side of balance. The usual suspects in a dry stout... coffee and chocolate... SURPRISE! Watery, mildly sweet finish.
