6 oz tap pour into an American Tumbler at The Lucky Monk in South Barrington, IL. 5.8% ABV, 45 IBUs.

A - The nitro pour is completely black. No light shines through. The cascading foam is beautiful as always and leads up to a dense tan head with great retention and thick lace.

S - The nose is bursting with bittersweet chocolate and mocha with roasted coffee and a cream hint. Really roasted black patent malts with a very low hoppy finish.

T - Bold roasted malts bring a big bittersweet chocolate and mocha flavor. A lot of roasted coffee grounds too with a nice roasted malt bitterness. Little hops found here.

M - Rich and full-bodied with a cool, crisp, and very dry finish. The dry, roasted bitterness gives a punch with that 45 IBUs.

D - A very good Irish Dry Stout! By far their best offering of the house-brews so far. Well-brewed and well-balanced.
