Brewer says this is made with several kinds of roasted malt plus flaked barley. Hops are reported to be Nugget and U.S. Goldings with an IBU of 38. Impeccable creamy head on a truly black beer. Some pleasant grainy chocolate aromas.
Dry sensation, lots of burnt malt, with a hint of caramel and roasted flavors. Taste is a lot like the industrial stouts like Murphy's. Quite a pleasant quaff for the low alcohol. Not a winner, exactly, but it's a better imitatio of Irish stouts than most.

Served in a standard pint, the beer is an opaque black with a skinny beige head. There is some lacing.
The aroma is a mix of roasted malts, some coffee and a touch of wood smoke. Its nice but a trifle underpowered.
The taste tracks the smell. There are roasted malts and some coffee, backlit with toffee. Beer sweetens late.
The mouth is a bit thin and watery not very creamy for a nitro offering (I had to double check)
Easy enough drinker, but the various minor flaws add up at the end.

I had to have another go at this one and this time around nitro-tapped
A: dark rusty black color, massive head and lacing was ring upon ring of dense mocha colored foam. Overall presentation was spot on
S: grains, feeble stale coffee, touch of chocolate sweets
M: mostly barely and light malts. I pick up on breads, dark chocolate, coffee, and delicate dark fruits all very faint but present with slight hop bitterness
M: very soft and mellow, very pleasing! Creamy and super slick
D: yes, very drinkable and inviting
