On tap at the Seven Bridges brewpub in Jacksonville, FL. Arrived at the table black with a luscious tan head that lasted through mid-glass and left partial lace. Mild aroma of roasted malt. The flavor is roasted malt with some light bitterness towards the finish. A little light-bodied and thin, more like a porter than a stout.

Side-by-side of the regular draft and the cask version, at the brewpub, pre-Noogfest. Pours blackish brown with tan head. The aroma is slightly roasty with some char and bitter chocolate, and the cask version sports a bit of woody sweetness. The flavor is roasty bitterness with some dry hoppiness and a little bit of root flavor. Lactose sweetness is more evident in the cask offering, as is a bit of vanilla and wood. Both are pretty drinkable.

Tap. Heavy smells of toasted and espresso, and a light resin smell, with wood in the background. Head massive, thick, creamy, light brown, with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. Also lacking a bit on depth, but mostly a well crafted stout.

On tap at Rock Bottom Charlotte. Pretty good stuff here. This was introduced as the "award winning" beer, although it didn’t really knock my socks off.
