Having this one on Nitro draught.
Updated after having one in the brewery taproom.
Pours up a beautiful dark roasted color with a substantial beige head. The body supports fine foam and lacing all the way down the glass.
Taste is of roasted maltyness, caramel with a hint of sweetness, the finish is dry with a pleasant hops bitterness.
A nice dry stout, would definitely have it again. It represents the style well.

On tap (nitro) and poured into a shaker pint glass.
L---As black as the nuns used to say my soul was. Nice, off-white head with good retention and a little bit of lacing.
S---Roasty malts. A bit of cocoa.
T---More of the roasted malts than the cocoa. A touch bitter, but not in a bad way at all.
F---Thinner than expected. Coating.
O---A really nice Irish stout. Not in Guinness' league, but nothing else really is, either.

Pitch black pour with no lacing. Appearance is thin.
Aroma is light chocolate and smoke with very delicate char.
Taste is chocolate, light char and smoke with some lingering delicate chocolate and char.
Body is ultra thin.
A lot of flavor for a sub 4% stout but don't care for the mouthfeel, way too thin.

I tried this on nitro at The Standard Tap in Philadelphia. It poured an opaque dark with thin tan head which dissipated over time and did not leave any lace. The scent had hints of earth and roast. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with smooth carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.
