Draft at the new Orange & Brew store and tap in Downers Grove. Big rich chocolate cookie smell even in my 5 oz. glass. Rich malty nose, and a decent froth of brown head. The taste seems quite strong for a beer that's mostly normal in abv. Malts are very rich and smooth, with no roastiness. I mostly pick up the chocolate and vanilla, s they are the strongest components. Gret example of a pastry stout.
