Chocolate Stout brewed with English Ale yeast. Dark in color with nice tan head. Roasty aroma with a hint chocolate sweetness and yeast esters. Dark chocolate throughout, subtle and pleasant malty/cocoa finish.

The beer offers cocoa sweetness up front, then onto milk chocolate, a creamy mouthfeel with a good amount of carbonation. The finish offers some light hops and roast.
A well done stout.

On tap at Rattle n Hum, NYC. In today's world of as many stouts to choose from as crows to shoot at (this is a figure of speech as I don`t own a gun...& if I did I doubt I`d be shooting crows) this effort seems to be just that...an effort. Handsome in the glass, pleasant on the nose (lots of semi-serious espresso aromas) & a fair-to-midlin texture defies my true admiration because the sum of the parts sems to let each other down. Kind of like a mis-matched outfit.
Maybe it`s my mood, Maybe it`s field of competition but It's just not there.
Deserve another at a later date.
