Shared with Cab!: Pitch black with brown bubbly head. Slight roasted malts - caramel & coffee. Smooth. Light sweet with some alcohol notes & burn. Very drinkable!

On nitro January 2005 at Redbones, listed as Ridgeway Foreign Extra Stout, but this is most likely the culprit. Unfortunately it was not listed as being on nitro, so I was unpleasantly surprised when they served me the glass. Oh well, I’ll try not to let my bias get in the way. Typical, boring, nitro pour, medium tan, creamy head atop a dark brown-black body with light mahogany tints. Dull aroma, some moderate roast and bittersweet cocoa and brown sugar. Flavor, for a nitrogenated beer, is not terrible. Perhaps one of the better ones I’ve had. Plenty of roasted malt bitterness, oily/watery feel. Brown sugar, some yeast and charred wood notes. Light notes of tart cherries on the finish, with some smooth milk chocolate. I bet this beer would be wonderful with CO2. I’d like to rate it without taking the nitrogen effects in to account, but no one forced the brewer to make this a nitrogen beer. Would gladly rerate a non-nitrogenated sample.
