Nice black pour with a huge creamy lasting head. Smell is really thin malt. Flavor is malty and has some roasted hints in there too. Palate sucks - I hate nitro in beers - it makes them look beautiful but kills the palate.

Jul 25, 2008 On tap at the brewpub in Chicago. Pours a pure black body with a thick beige head. The aroma is roasted malts and some hops. The taste was mostly a nice and smooth roasted malt, some coffee and brown sugar and a nice bitter hop presence. Much hoppier than I expect from a Stout. Nice.

May 21, 2008 Nitro... DLD’08... Black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, everlasting, light brown head. The black malts impart notes of coffee, dark chocolate and acrid smoke (“...and horse’s breath...” ;-)). Medium-bodied and creamy with feather-soft carbonation. It’s supposed to be a Guinness clone and they pull it off, only with better balance. Essences of dark roast coffee, carbon and cocoa, but a touch thin. Finishes lightly bitter and lifeless. The nitro really sucks this one dry... figuratively, of course.

May 21, 2008 In short: A offensively watery dry (ashes) stout
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Almost black body with a medium tan head
In long: Watery, very watery. Some burnt malts and ashes in water. Ashes finish. It is dry alright. No sweetness apparent. Actually there are not flavours apparent other than that burnt/ashes feeling. At least it’s got an honest name, Terminal also means severely incurable and sick.

Apr 28, 2008 Pours black with a creamy lasting, nitro head. Smell is almost nonexistant at first, and as it warms, comes out just very faintly, still, and is moderately roasty. Taste is more robust and is dry cocoa powder, roasty malt, and smooth in the mouth from the nitro pour. Decent beer.
