on tap-pours a tan head and black color. Aroma is espresso/coffee/roasty/ashy-dark malt. Taste is espresso/coffee/roasty/ashy-dark malt/oat, secondary acidic hops, lactose. Not my style.

Nitro tap at the brewpub. Appearance and mouthfeel notes taken from a sample at the brewery, immediately from the tap, and aroma and taste notes taken from a growler filled at the same time and opened about 20 minutes later. Pours a chocolately brown color, hazy. Medium creamy offwhite nitro head. Aroma is primarily dark coffee, some roastiness, cream and dark chocolate. Taste is rich coffee with a very bitter espresso note in the finish. Milk chocolate is the dominant chocolate with highlights of dark chocolate. A bit of a fruity note and some mild bitter hops. A lactic note lingers on the tongue. Smooth, milky, creamy with a bit more assertive carbonation than expected. Thin-medium bodied. Good beer.

On tap at the brewery. Appearance: black, no head whatsoever. No scent at all, good or bad. The flavor is really lacking, which is too bad. The only taste you get is the finish of a coffee-like bitterness.
