Limited edition nitro-tap stout apparently brewed either with Frangelico or some type of hazelnut extract.

Pours out to a clear, near black, forming a large, very creamy milky light-tan head with superior retention and lacing. One great looking beer! The lacing is wonderful, forming solid sheets and leaving a trail of every sip I've had. The aroma is wonderful...fresh vanilla beans, black walnut, hazelnut, mild roasted grains. The mouthfeel is silky smooth with a medium body. Taste begins with lightly sour vanilla bean and tons of hazelnut, followed by black walnut, a green vegetable note, mild floral hops, and followed by a "fake" coffee note, which is pretty damn good in this brew. Intense vanilla and hazelnut round out the finish with mild bittering hops and more of that green leafy herb note. Cleanly fermented.

Just another wonderful brew from Founder's. Great stuff. Nate and Jeremy continually impress me with their wonderful brews. Recommended if you can find it!

Wow - I’m really impressed by this new beer sampled on tap at Founders. Looks amazing with the nitro - dark, almost black color with thin tan head that lasts forever, and the sides of the glass just coated with sheets of abundant lacing that didn’t dissipate. Beautiful concentric lasting rings of layers of lacing. I’m not sure how much better a beer could look. Smells of rich dark coffee roast, maybe a hint of some dark chocolate. Tastes of amazing dark coffee, a little dark chocolate mocha, then caramel, vanilla creaminess, malt and some roasted nuttiness. Amazingly smooth, substantial creamy and slightly thick mouthfeel that coats the palate. Just the right amount of carbonation. This beer was just a little light and for that reason it didn’t get a 4.5 for overall rating - kind of a lighter version of some of Founders’ other amazing stouts. If only they would bottle and sell this one.

Nitro & on tap at the brewery
A - reverse cascading black pour with a tight tan head that holds incredible retention as expected from the nitro
S - hazelnuts and chocolate reminiscent of Nutella, roasted barley
T - very nutty hazelnut presence, chocolate, roasted barley, earthy hops
M - thinner body with the nitro keeping it very smooth and refreshing
O - better than expected and I think I would like it better without the nitro aspect. They never sit well with my stomach.
