Draft at the brewpub. Poured an opaque black color. Head was off white with a bit of lace. Attractive roasty chocolate aroma and flavor. Medium bodied and dry on the tongue with a smooth nitro mouth feel. Good stout.

On tap. Dark brown body with light foamy head. Nitro smooths out the body but kills a little of the flavour. Roasty with some chocolate and espresso. Nothing strong or rich but a nice flavourful dry stout.

Roasted woody nose, opaque black color, creamy sticky head. Complex deep malt tastes of wood, chocolate and coffee. Smooth going done. An excellent stout.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is roasty with a coffee bean and chocolate combo that’s incredibly interesting. Appearance is black, black and just a little more black with a thick tan head. Flavors are all melded together so well, it’s nice to drink a stout that doesn’t make you feel like you swallowed a watermelon. Creamy smooth with a nice bitter finish that reminded me a little of a good espresso.

Draft. Deep black color with a chalky tan head. Rich chocolate aromas with some burnt coffee notes. A very smooth, dry stout with chocolate, coffee, fruit and maybe even a bit nutty. Crisp, dry finish. A great beer.

What guinness should be. Raoasted coffee and mocha notes on a creamy and dry malt body. Clean and quaffable stout that could be consumed all day.

tap at the brewery - Pours dark brown to black with a nice thick head. The aroma is roast malt and the flavor has that good maltiness with some coffee notes. It’s a little light for a stout, fairly good overall but not great.

On tap at Russian River Brewery. This dark brown ale poured with a generous creamy head. The flavor is initially malty, with a long chalky finish. A decent stout, but not one of the brewery’s better efforts.
