On tap at the brewery. Nice very dark brown body with modest beige head on top. Soft sweet roasted barley on the nose. Flavour is muddy barley with sugary molasses hints. Medium finish. Rather boring, alcohol is at least well hidden, but none of this comes across as too exciting.

Draught at the brewery
Black color. Mild roasted malts here, soft body; short final; quite weak and without any characteristic of an Imperial Stout, no body, no depth; it's just a regular Stout with more alcohol.

On tap at Red Truck, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out moderately roasted malt upfront, with some dark fruitiness, and a little cocoa. Flavour is a bit muffled, with earthy and roasted malt upfront, followed by some dark fruit elements. A bit chalky and lacking body. Not the most interesting example of the style, but I like that Red Truck is attempting a more intense style for once.

Growler - Roast, toast, nutty and some fruity esters. Jet black with a decent beige head. Fruity, roast and some toast with a light bitterness. Bitterness and body don’t have enough oomph.
