Extremely dark in color but surprisingly light on the palette, our stout is remarkably complex. With hints of chocolate and caramel, robust flavors of roasted malt come through to round this brew out. It is everything a stout should be: calming, cooling and vastly flavorful.

On nitro at Spacebar pours a thick, dark black with some white head. Nose is alright, some malt, some burnt toast, mild coffee, dark chocolate, quite grainy. Flavor follows, chewy malts and grains, some bakers chocolate, coffee bean. Dry finish, perhaps a touch TOO full bodied.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a dark brown color with a small off-white, light tan head. Aroma was light chocolate, light coffee, roasted malts were nice in this one. Light earthy notes, some chocolate on the finish. Pretty standard, but tasty.
