Deep black/brown pour. The nose is a bit chewy and chocolatey with some light roasty character. A little bit of soft roast. Solid.

On tap at the brewpub (both nitro and CO2 pours). Pours a deep, dark brown/black with good-sized tan head. Aroma is roasty with lots of anise and dark fruit. Flavour is roasty chocolate, anise, raisin with a real roasty bitterness in the finish. Interesting to have the side-by-side comparison - not surprised to see/feel the creamier consistency of the nitro, but was at how the flavour really came through differently between the two. A nice beer either way.

Black appearance with a tan, creamy head. Earth malt flavour with a slight hint of coffee. Smooth finish.

12oz draft at brewpub. Solid black colour with ample mocha head and lively carbonation on the glass. Lots of lacing as this went down. Aroma is big and roasty. Taste was dark chocolate and raisin with a strong roasted malt back. Body was a little thin for my ideal stout. Overall, a very solid effort with strong success in 3 out of 4 categories.
