On tap. Pours black with short tan head. As advertised, but really a cardamon bomb with vanilla and creamy roasted malt providing only a small counterpoise

Vanilla and cardamom. Deep jet brown with a rich light brown head. Cardamom heavy with some sweetness and a long finish.

Has big cardamom on the nose but nothing else. Looks muddy brown with very little foam. Flavour is soft cardamom with vague vanilla and barley hints. Way too watery on the mouth. There are better stouts here for sure.

On tap at Storm, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is like root beer and chai tea, wih and lots of cardamom, plenty of earthy spiciness, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is along the same lines, with chai tea, cardamom, and a touch of vanilla. Not as bad as I expected, but not really a pleasant beer.
