Shared from Growler courtesy of whaleman (thanks!).

Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized tan head. Even though this one poured out of the Growler, it looked like it was poured from a ntiro tap! Aromas of purnes, chocolate, roast, light coffee, and vanilla, Tastes of chocoalte, vanilla, some dark fruits and had a light coffee bitter finish. Lacing left on the glass.

Thanks to doppel007 for breaking open this growler...
Appears black with a dark brown hue edge when held up to the light. A 1 finger, dark tan, fluffy head slowly fades out. It looks, amazingly, like it was poured with nitrogen, as the sides cascade up to form the head.
Smell is of roasted malt, sweet fruit, cocoa, espresso, and whipping cream.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with a light blast of citrusy hops mixing in the roasty mix of cocoa and coffee.
Mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy, sweet, dry up front but a lingering of creamy sugar. Medium amounts of CO2 fill this out.
