Draught style can pour. Pours nitro like with a huge pillow foam head and lace. Mostly absent aroma. Thick cream body. Very little flavor other than cream. Light, super easy drinking. Not complaining on this one.

Pours a clear amber color, topped with a medium off-white frothy head. Caramel aroma, also some herbal notes in there, but very mild. Taste starts sweet, caramel notes, finishing with a quite mild bitterness. Some metallic feel in the aftertaste. Itโs not bad, but. itโs not that great either. Pretty average, really.

Bottle. Clear amber color with small head. Aroma of caramel, a bit of english hops. Taste is straightforward light caramel and a bit bitterness. Light mouthfeel, english ale carbonation. A standard red ale, really nothing special. 4-3-4-2-9 Nitro. I didnโt do this one complete justice, although the vocabulary stays the same. 5-3-5-3-10

From the draught can. A full 5 in appearance. Black with a creamy beige head that is perfectly stable. Roasted malt, ashes, coffee. Taste is coffee and a bit milk, with a bit of a crisp bitterness in the finish. A bit watery mouthfeel, like many stouts. Super-smooth ale carbonation, near-flat. Ok. Dry stouts are just generically boring I guess. Still quite enjoyable.

Tap. Very dark reddish brown with very creamy thick long lasting head, looks great. Nice roasted taste, dry malts, touch of grapes and apple, dry burnt bitter finish. Light watery body and feel.
