6 ounce draft at the brewery. Color is pitch black. Aroma and flavor are same. Kind of really mild roast, chocolate, mild tobacco. Very mild overall.

Dark black, 3 fingercreamy head. Smells like rice, smoked barley and cinnamon cereal. Creamy...very much so. With a really good sweet maple syrupy finish. Licorice in the middle. Piney, tasty

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the brewpub.
The appearance was a black color with a nice looking foamy eggshell white head. Slow dissipation. Mild lace.
The aroma had a nice blend of roasted coffee beans, moderate milk chocolate sweetness, light dark chocolate nibs. Touch of dark fruits at the end.
The flavor leans towards the sweet side initially and then develops into the roast fairly nice. Light acceptable herbal kick hits and then helps to blend into the aftertaste. Sly earthy/dark fruity/roasty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about medium bodied, maybe just a touch higher. Good sipper. ABV did feel right where the brewer projected.
Overall, I liked this RIS, very well done. We’re getting there Vermont, aren’t we, (with our stouts)?
