Shaker @ the brewpub. This is a plain stout, not a foreign stout, they kind of missed the mark there. Not sweet enough, not thick enough, not Jamaican enough. But its a decent stout, light on the roast, easy drinking, I would say the body is medium-light. Not much else to point out or really examine here.

10 oz draft at the brewpub. Pour is blackish brown, murky with a nice khaki head. Aroma of roasted malt, followed by some earthy grassy hops. None of the traditional foreign stout sweetness, though the roast was nicely pronounced. Taste follows the nose with a nice soft roastiness, followed by a bit of charred wood, then the grassy hops and then finishing with a very slight touch of milky sweetness. Palate is medium, soft low carbonation - and a residual roasty finish. Nice enough though, much more of a straightforward roasty stout.
