3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at new hope. Taste is sweet but malty balanced. Deep black color. Nice foam on top. Smooth and a little watery. Not bad
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at the brewery. Black pour with a dense beige head that stays around forever. Decent lacing. Aroma of dark roasted coffee beans and smoke. Very flavorful...the most flavor I’ve had since I started with the sampler here. Taste is coffee and smoke with enough hops to hold it all together. Medium-plus palate. Good beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Samples at the Triumph. Pours dark brown hue with a creamy, brown head. Aroma is of coffee and some dark fruit. The body is medium and quite smooth. Coffee and roasted malt dominate flavors. Long, bitter finish. I did not enjoy this brew much.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nitrogen pour. Black pour with tan head. Velvet like texture, chocolate, roasted and vanilla flavors line this brew. Nice, good to enjoy usually an overdone style.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap, Philly location. Pours a clear dark brown body, almost black, with a creamy beige head. Minimal nose, just a little roasty malt and a touch of oat sweetness. The flavor is a little sweet with some roastiness that dries out a bit towards the finish. Not as flavorful as I would wish for. Light to medium bodied with a little more carbonation than most nitro Stouts. Prettty meh overall.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Triumph. Pours a deep, clear ruby with a nice tan, nitro head. Good nitro lace. Light bodied, slight roast, oak cherries, dark chocolate peak through. Overall the flavors are muted, the mouthfeel is soft. Pretty decent Guinness clone albeit a bit watery (Well Guinness is just that too!).
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours oily black with a thick head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Taste is dominated by the coffee and chocolate combination. Very smooth.

On Draft at triumphs Philly location. Enjoyed this to some nice live music. Pours a blackish brown body no head no lacing. Aroma is light roast. Palate is thin and watery. Notes of oat and roast.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Opaque black with a small, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, oaks, roast, cocoa, and some smoked wood. Taste of roast, cocoa, oatmeal, vanilla, and a dry finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Triumph. Pours a deep dark brown to black, with a medium to large tan head, which stays around for a while. Very pretty. Faint roast with a touch of oatmeal sweetness. Lighter in body than I’d think, almost watery, lightly sweet, little roast. Light roast finish. Ok session stout but could use more body and character.
