This strong stout is not for the faint of heart. The malt build gives it notes of coffee and chocolate, and the nitro tap provides it with a smooth finish.

On nitro tap at Yaletown, pours black with a medium creamy tan head. Aroma brings out a very hearty roasted malt character, with some oatmeal and light dry coffee. Flavour is very hearty, with big oatmeal and roasted malt upfront, transitioning to a bitter coffee finish. Robust indeed, with a thick, hearty mouthfeel. Very nicely done.

Today I find more earthy notes, less chocolate, less body.

Black color with creamy head. Aroma of wet cardboard. The mouthfeel is soft, smooth, it has a very good chocolate flavor, roasted malts, roasted nuts, off-dry. The nitro seem to reduce the ashy character, but I also wish I can try some day a sweeter and bolder version because there seem to be some good malt here.
Very good.

Dark brown. Nitro. Has a rich chocolate character, pretty nice bitterness. Finishes a bit sweeter...that’s the nitro I’m thinking.
