Springfield, PA location. The brewer nailed the style with the dryness and pitch black body of this Dry Stout. Has just enough flavor and low alcohol that makes it a marvelous session beer.

Druaght @ Wayne, PA: Aroma of malts, choclate, roast, vanilla, and cream. Poured very dark brown/ruby color. Big tan head. HUGE lacing. Nice flavor of choclate, coffee, and cream with hints of toasting and roasting. Easy to drink. Full bodied. Well balanced. I was very impressed with this beer. I wonder if the local brewer did something special to it.

On draught at the Framingham location 7/2/2005. Typical nitro dry stout, moderate amount of head, off-white colored on top of a cola to nut-brown body, some light auburn highlights. Aroma of dry coffee rinds, a hint of nuttiness and astringent roast. Flavor couldnt be any more boring if they tried. Light roast, dry, bitter notes with no redeeming malt sweetness, no hops and just tons of water. A hint of light cream/sugar/vanilla as it warms, but severely lacking in any interesting flavors and in body. Strange, as they make a really good milk stout here. Must be the nitro, or perhaps they werent aiming for anything more than a Guinness knock-off.

Tap@John Harvards, Boston, Ma. Quite a creamy dry stout. Light mocha notes, with touches of berry fruit in the end. A bit too thin to gett excited about.

Draft at Harvards Framingham. Pours a dark brown with a creamy like tan head. The head leaves an amazing lacing that covers the entire glass from start to finish. The nose is light coffee and the flavor is folgers flavor crystals.

Best of the house samplers. Quite thick style and low fizz. Lightly flavoured b ut shows character with chocolate and faint rhubarb touches.

Draft, Framingham: Poured dark brown with hints of ruby. Thick, creamy tan head. Moderate roast malt aroma with a bit of coffee and chocolate notes. Flavor is mild and not as pronounced as the aroma. Mild roastiness, mild coffee and chocolate. Full bodied and dry. Good.

A decent beer but a below average stout. Very dry with almost a hint of wheat in it.
