On tap at the brewery. Very nice beer. Pours a pitch black color with a medium brown head. A smooth nose of roast, heat, cherries. The flavor is big dark fruit, vanilla, toffee, molasses, a it of leather. Awesome stout. Quite heavy, some viscous elements, pretty creamy palate overall. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a super cloudy-stunningly thick and cloudy- golden color with a medium white head. A sweet herbal tea nose with lemons. The flavor is fine: mellow tea-like, Earl Grey I’d say, lemons and oranges, some yeast. Almost no bitterness.

Draft at the source. Deep dark brown color, small beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate. Taste is sweet and silly dark cocoa, latte macchiato. Very nice.
