Draught @ Barcade. Skightly hazy reddish brown, very small frothy beige head that disappeared fast, very faint caramel aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet caramel malt taste with molasses that turns bitter immediately, thin body, long bitter finish. Not bad.

On tap at the brewpub today. Nitro pour.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a nice level two finger off white to creamy colored head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate stringy lace.
The aroma blended well between the roasted coffee beans and the chocolate malts. Just a touch of sweetness to roll in underneath. Then sweet oats, and then some vanilla.
The flavor leaned to the roasty side first. And then some of the sweet oats and vanilla slide in to accompany a balanced taste. Smooth roasty sweet aftertaste. Quick wet roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Nitro basically smoothed out the roast so well that I almost thought I wasn’t even drinking a beer. Made Guinness feel rough.
Overall, probably one of the smoothest oatmeal stouts I ever had. If I lived closer to Albany, I would definitely have this during every Winter visit.

On tap at the brewpub today.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown almost black color with a thin white cap of a head that dissipated fairly quick. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some nice roasty coffee beans, delicate dark fruits and then some sweet milk chocolate. Just a touch of sweet sugar cane at the end.
The flavor does a good job of blending between roast and sweet. The milk chocolate and sugar cane to roasty coffee beans. Well balanced roasty to sweet aftertaste. Quick wet roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. Nice carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, nice porter for the most part, perhaps a bit sweeter than wanted but the brewpub did say they added sugar cane to this. Still, worthy of coming back to.
