Shaker pint draft at The Idle Rich Pub in Dallas, Texas. The pour is a clear golden with not much of a white head. The aroma is grass, strong diacetyl and sweet corn. The taste is bland grass, cereal grain and a dirty diacetyl finish. The palate is light to medium bodied with low carbonation (almost flat) and a lingering dirtiness. Only gets worse as it warms.

Nitro draft shaker at Anvil Pub in Dallas, Texas. The pour is a brown copper with a solid unmoving one inch tan head. The aroma is sweet vanilla caramel, along with a bit of office coffee. Basically coffee and cream. The taste is nutty caramel malt, sweet and not much else. The palate is the silky nitro smooth mouthfeel though still somewhat thin in the body. Cleanish sweet finish. This one didn’t totally do it for me.

Sweet caramel, dark chocolate malt, creamy flavour....Thick and full bodied.....worth the wait for the head to recede.
