On tap at the brewpub, served in a shaker pint. This one was described to me as a Wheat Stout, so let's see what happens.
A: Black body with red highlights, gleaming underneath a finger of ultra-fine, tan foam. Tons of sticky lace. Yup, they put this one on nitro, and it shows.
S: Well, what can I say? It smells like a BAR beer: generic sweet malt with a hint of cooked-corn DMS, and some buttery diacetyl for good measure. I actually kind of enjoy these particular off notes (especially in their pale, year-round beers) in the way the confer the house style, but they certainly don't make for a good aroma for a stout.
T: Caramel, butterscotch (emphasis on butter), and coffee. The coffee really takes over the finish in a lovely way, but overall it's nothing special.
M: Smooth, thin, and bubbly. Not great for the style or the delivery method.
O: I was really hoping for a rare winner of a BAR seasonal (e.g. Chocolate Porter, Damn Good Espresso Stout), but this is just about as mediocre as they come. Like I said, I really don't dislike the beer's obvious flaws, but I just can't get excited about it because of them. At least the coffee undertones gave it a bit of personality.
Cheers!
