I'm trying a 5oz taster of this beer off the tapper at the brewery. It poured an opaque dark with very thin tan ring head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had hints of sweet malt with common export stout notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle sweet roast malt and earth presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

I've had this a couple of times on draft from local establishments. It's a good stout -- frankly, it tastes a lot like Guinness to me. I'm not an export stout expert. It is much higher abv than most versions of Guinness, which limits it session-ability.
