Tap at the brewpub. Almost pitch black body (or so it seemed in the dark lighting of the brewpub), creamy brownish-grey head. Malt-driven aroma, not terribly complex, but with a pleasant raisin note. Creamy if a bit lean taste (ok for the ABV), raisins, caramael and fruity notes, with very light roasty touches and a dry finish. Quite nice, pleasant, easy drinking stout - their best beer so far. By the book almost light sweet(ish) stout. Not a wow, but I'd go for it, maybe even underrating it slightly.
