Mellow malts, very easy drinking stout. Nice balance. The nitro conditioning was not that evident in the sample I had, which was a good thing. Good brewpub stout. Mouthfeel is full and round.

On tap at Tommyknocker poured a clear dark brown nearly black with a small lasting brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee and light vanilla. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of vanilla with a smooth lingering roasty finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours black with a brown head. Strong coffee roasted aroma. has a big lactose sweetness that overpowers any possible coffee or roasted taste. Fairly capable sweet stout. I think this is a solid example of the style.

Black body with a brown head. Caramel and molassas aroma. Light bitterness with some butterscotch but VERY watery.
