Served in an imperial pint glass at the Palatine brewpub.

'Murica! This stuff pours a straight onyx topped by a finger of tan foam. The nose comprises mild roasted malts, a hint of blackened pretzel, and a touch of dark greenery. The taste brings in more of the same, with a dash of dark chocolate powder and a pervading sense of soapy bitterness throughout. I don't think it needs to be said, but it's not very enjoyable at all. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, this stout just didn't do it for me, primarily due to the soapy character. Were that absent, this might actually be a decent stout, but alas...
