Hollister Blown Out Stout

Deep brown/ruby with an off white head. Aroma is roasty, light coffee. Taste is roasty, mild caramel, light chocolate.

Draught at the brewery. Black with a perfectly angular nitro head. Light chocolate aroma, but pretty muted overall. Nice coffee flavor with a bit of sweetness and a bitter hoppy and roasty finish. More body and sweetness than an irish stout, but still relatively dry and quite drinkable. The nitro squashes the body a bit, bit it retains enough life to be pleasant enough. Once the nitro head got out of the way, this was enjoyable.

From a nitro cask at the brewery. Pours with a large, tight, creamy, off-white head covering a dark brown body. Lots of sheets of lacing. Light coffee aroma. Taste is a bit of watery coffee. Watery expresso mouthfeel with light carbonation.
