Draft. A- Roasty, nutty, cocoa. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, off white head. T- Nutty, roasty, chocolate. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- What Nebraskan doesn't love an Eileen's cookie. Been wanting to try for a while. Not nearly as sweet as I expected. The oatmeal smooths it out and there are nice nutty notes but peanut butter itself doesn't necessarily show through and some chocolate. I don't think they put the cookies in the beer as much as tried to emmulate them and make something that pairs well with such a cookie. Decent stout overall, but I give a nod to Divots gummy bear stout for a gimmicky local collab here.

Draft. A- Mango, peach. A- Golden orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Mango, peach, slightly sour. P- Light body, creamy texture, flat carbonation, tart finish. O- I wasn't sure it would be good with the nitro but it really does work well. Loads of mango and peach and a bit of creaminess to smooth it out and settle the tartness a bit. Refreshing.

Can. A- Faint cocoa, watery. A- Black color, black liquid, beige head. T- Cocoa, mild bitterness, chilies, dry. P- Medium body, creamy texture, flat carbonation, slightly spice finish. O- Served as a nitro beer. No widget just turn can three times. Looks beautiful but that's about it. The chilies are the biggest flavor here but it's not too spicy. Really just sorta bland. The nitro mutes it a lot.
