Nitro at Milwaukee Burger Company Franklin, 5/17/19. Black, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roast, tobacco, clay, minerals. Taste is chocolate, roast, minerals. Medium bodied, very dry. Highly drinkable. Very nice.

Pours mahogany tinged brown into a shaker. Tan head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Chocolate and burnt malt aromas. Soft with dark caramel and chocolate upfront turning to dry earthy resin in the medium length finish.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was layered as expected - black at the bottom fulfilling the tan to brown three finger-ed middle indicating the nitro pour to flow through as it should and then a soft finger and a half of a level eggshell white color for a head. Glistening lovely stringy yet sliding lace.
The aroma had a luscious sweet to roasty blend of milk chocolate, roasted malts, sweet cream and a touch of vanilla at the end.
The flavor blended the previously mentioned flavors to boot and had it wrap into the aftertaste and slide into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body. Sorry, Harpoon, I don’t find this to be full bodied. Makes for a great session. ABV felt spot on as the brewer suggests.
Overall, practically perfect as an Irish dry stout, watch out Guinness. Except for that body, just seems a touch under. Still, I hope Harpoon does this again next year.
