Shaker pint draft at Naked City Taphouse in Seattle, Washington. Pour is a hazed deep brown - pretty much black with a small khaki head. Aroma of butter sweetness and roasted char malt, a really weird combo - smelled a bit off to me, but also oddly well integrated so who knows, perhaps it is intended. Taste is sweet buttery fruit, followed by roast and char and ashiness. Palate is medium, coats the mouth a bit in a sweet soda sort of way. After the coating clears, there is an interesting mineral finish. Dry stout, with butter sweetness and roast smoke; not sure what this was trying to be.
