On tap at the Fairview BP. Black pour. Thin ring of mocha Bubbles Intense sweet chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Very light on the darkness and bitter bite and also under carbonated. A pastry stout yes. It still is quite sweet and desserty. Flavors are wonderful though

Half pour at Sockeye. Golden pour with a filmy head. Aroma is caramel, yeasty, bread. Taste is malty and sweet, bready, Belgian yeast, sweet, grassy, fruity. Velvety feel dries out, a little bit of mouth coating. Fast finish except for some lingering warmth.

Draft at Alehouse. Clear, pale golden pour, bubbly head, spotty lacing. Smoky aroma, oak. Taste cuts back on the smokiness, just a bit, to leave a nice biscuity base. Very smooth and a good gateway beer for smoked malts .
