On nitro at Wyoming Ale Works.
Pitch black pour, an inch of tannish foam, lacing typical for a nitro.
Smells of dark chocolate, coffee, bit of bitterness going on.
Taste has both dark and milk chocolate, sweet and bitter, coffee adds more bitterness but it isn't that bitter overall. Nice.
Creamy smooth mouthfeel.
I am enjoying it muchly.

Draught at Canary Square, 1/13/19.
Clear, dark mahogany-to-ebony with a light tan head showing moderate retention.
Rich milk chocolate, light fudge and plentiful, but even/soft roast notes collect on the nose. Smells much more intense than 5% though not messy or alcoholic. Clean and with a good balance of base malt and darker ones. Soft vanilla and light cocoa linger on.
In the mouth it's slick-to-soft in texture with low but fairly engaging carbonation (this was not on nitro). Great attenuation but still enough supple maltiness left behind for comfort and balance with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, light fudge and hints of vanilla through the middle ending on moderate bitterness/coffee-like roast and a clean, alcohol-free finish. Very nice stuff and quite flavorful for its size.

Fairly tame Yeti, smooth and chocolatey with a dark cherry-raisin undercurrent and a nice bitter finish. Never a huge fan of nitro beers, but not a bad pint.
