Draught @ Churchkey, Washington, DC. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy but stable dark tan head. Dark aroma of roast, chocolate and coffee, with malty notes and dusty touches. Sweetish flavour of malt and lactose, with notes of roast and chcocolate and hints of yeast and vanilla and barrel. Estery and roasty aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel. Warming alcohol presence. Very decent, indeed.
