20oz proper pint at the brewpub's restaurant - they won't fill howlers with this, something about the nitro making it a pain in the ass.
This beer appears a solid black, with the barest of basal cola edges, and one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy tan head, which leaves some pockmarked concrete wall lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bittersweet milk chocolate, gritty caramel malt, a touch of biscuity toffee, cafe-au-lait, a bit of dry black licorice, and plain earthy, leafy, and musty hops. The taste is grainy and lightly crackery roasted caramel malt, acrid day-old coffee, receding bitter cocoa, a wispy licorice character, and some middling earthy and leafy green hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly soft in their supportive frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and well smooth, with a gentle airy creaminess arising slowly out of the gate. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to really eye the clock on the wall.
Overall, not a bad version of the style, the roasted character doing well to play nice with the base stout sweetness. The nitrogenated treatment isn't that obvious, as the expected creaminess is a bit underwhelming, but it all seems to work out in the end. Slainte!
