Draft at brewery. Solid sweet stout that is easy to drink though it leaves a very slight off taste in the finish. Black body with a nice tan head that didn’t stick around. The nose was full of roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of coffee. The flavor was moderately sweet and moderately bitter and lightly to moderately acidic. A coffee-like bitterness stuck around for awhile. Tastes of sweet milk, char, licorice and a metallic aftertaste. Medium body, average carbonation. Soft texture. Very nice.

Tap. Cherry brandy and light smoke aroma. Opaque reddish brown color with small head. Smoky cherry malt flavor nicely blended with moderate pine hops finish - smokiness blends very nicely with hops. As a pipe smoker, this beer tastes like the best part of pipe smoke - excellent.
