Nitro... DLD’08... Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Good retention. The subtle aroma extends a thin note of mocha and a touch of vanilla. Hardly medium-bodied with a skim milk mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. The flavor is pretty weak, but there is an insinuation of mocha. Watery, chocolate, Sahara-dry finish.

Apr 14, 2008 Nitro. Pitch black creamy tan nitro head. Dry roast flavor is the same a bitter dark roast finish. Creamy nitro feel. A solid dry irish stout with a hint of sweetness.

Mar 12, 2008 Since I rarely enjoy a nitro-pulled version of an ale, I had the cask conditioned alternative. Nice pour, a dark, dark brown body with a firm, sustained, tightly bubbled head. Good lacing. The aroma had a roasted nuttiness to it along with roasted barley and a splash of coffee. Some chocolate and a soft touch of dark sweet malt were added to the flavor. It finishes on a dry nutty bitter note. Pretty decent. <font size=-4> Rock Bottom Warrenville, Warrenville, IL<font size=-1>
