Nitro at the brewery - turbid dark brown - cola-like head - lovely nose of dry cocoa, licorice, figs, dates - quite a sweet lactose flavor up front, but a moderate mix of charred malt, roast and black malt bitterness balances things out - quite a bit of chocolate - medium sweet chocolate finish - good, but not as complex as the aroma suggests.
