Served on tap at the brewery. Appears dark brown with thick and dense white head. Nose starts with smoke malts married with roasted malt. Chocolate comes through next with a noticeable graham cracker note. The taste features smooth creamy chocolate and smoke with a nice graham cracker flavor at the edges. The marshmallow character isn't immediately noticeable, but the nitro texture lends a bit of marshmallow character. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Overall, a well executed and unique brew!

Serving type: nitro-tap

Pours black with a big, thick white nitro head. A rather indiscriminate aroma a little sweetness of some vanilla and lame chocolate, and a little roastiness from the malt. Flavor was a pretty accurate for a S'More (chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow, a little cracker, roasty) but very sweet, almost cloyingly so after you drink 'x' amount. But until that threshold is reached, it was enjoyable. A creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied.Not too impressive for a nitro tapped beer. Overall, hit the mark for what it was aiming for and enjoyable in small doses.
