10 oz schooner draft at the brewery pub in Seattle, Washington. Nitro pour. Pour is big and frothy, tons of settling, deep copper in color, eventually a light tan head. Pretty, I like the look of a nitro pour, suck on that nitro haters. Aroma of not too much, touch of cereal grains, touch of sweet malt. Taste is sweet cereal grains, along with a weird chemical diacetyl which unsettles the balance and really flattens the beer out. Palate is the typical velevety flatish nitro, with mouth coating residual sweetness. Just ok.

On NITRO tap at Brewpub Seattle. Pours out a clear amber topped with a off white head. Sweet malt along with very smooth going down.
