Growler filled at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri later in the afternoon, enjoyed that evening three or so hours later. The pour is opaque black brownish with a darker tan head. The aroma roast dark chocolate malt, along with fresh roasted coffee and a mineral earth in the back. The taste mirrors the nose, solid roast stout with a fresh coffee taste blended, and a dry earthy mineral finish. The palate is medium bodied, active carbonation and the dry finish. Nicely done, coffee is generally a miss with beer for me, but this really nailed. Likely the best MCBC beer I have had so far.
