Tap at the brewpub - Amherst. Pours deep brown with a fine, creamy tan head. Some chocolate in the nose, good roast. Medium sweet flavor, mild tangy drk malts, baking cocoa, subtle earth. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, moderately bitter cocoa, burnt wood. Decent.

Nitro Pint at the brewpub, 8/19/2005 with Eyedrinkale. Deep, dark chocolate brown-black body with a rich, tan, nitro head, full and lasting. No lacing left on the glass though. Aroma had me searching and believe me I tried. EDA kept telling me how nice the aroma was, and I kept sticking my face in the glass, covering the glass, swirling and sniffing, but I really couldnt get much. Taking in to account the nitrogen, I suppose there isnt as much to be smelled. What was there was cocoa powder for sure, dry, slightly musty yeast and umm, that’s all I really got. Flavor begins with milk chocolate, with light vanilla hints, peanut brittle and a touch of hops, though no where near overdone or horribly bitter. Thinned out from the nitro, but not terribly watery. Light roast and licorice on the end, with chocolate through and through. An easy, refreshing drink, but not an Imperial Stout in my book. There’s hardly any roast/coffee. Seems like just a stout to me. Balanced and drinkable though, with a thin and loose texture, not completely unlike hot chocolate. It’s no grande noirceur.
