A - Dark, dark brown. Good head, slow to leave, good retention, nice sudsy lace.

S - Slightly smoky, some paprika and coffee.

T - Nice flavor for what was there. Not much of it. Bland, watery. Most disappointing aspect of this beer.

M - Med to light, creamy, easy to drink, balanced.

D - Boring. Sorry.

Poured black with nice khaki nitro head.

The smell was mostly of roasted coffee.

The taste was roasted coffee with a bitterness coming from the malt.

Super easy drinking beer and the nitro only helps. I was pretty impressed with this one and is a better alternative to Guinness for sure.

On tap at El Cajon Brewing Company.

A: Black with a finger of beige cream. Good retention and lots of lacing.

S: Light chocolate meets roasted grain and restrained coffee notes. I get a whisper of dark fruit esters that remind me of plum with accompanying earth.

T: Coffee blends with roasted grain and a lower moderate earthy bitterness. There's a faint acidic sourness on the back end and a touch of chocolate.

M: Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Overall: A respectable Dry Stout.
