look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Poured violently from a 12oz nitro bottle in to a nonic pint glass.

Appearance: A jet black body quickly erupts into a thick off-white creamy head. Plenty of lacing.

Smell: Coffee, dark cocoa, sugary lactose, plenty of roasted malts. Inviting and exciting.

Taste: Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, lactose, with a hint of bitterness towards the finish. Not as impressive as the smell, but still delicious.

Mouth: Nitrogen lends a wonderful creamy mouthfeel that leaves a syrupy film after swallowing.

A perennial favorite with a wonderful chocolate, coffee, and lactose smell, a malty taste, and a creamy, if not slightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Serving type: bottle

Like others, reviewing the nitro although it says it's an alias. Ironically I also have the regular version, so I'll edit this review with my review of that I guess.

Poured into pokal; jet black with almost no head, tiny bubbles form all over the glass. Smells like a stout: coffee and chocolate, a bit of sweetness behind it. Taste is incredibly smooth; it almost seems like it's not effervescent at all. Follows nose, coffee and chocolate, with a thick sweet character from the milk sugars. All in all it's definitely as thick as I'd want a milk stout to be, but I'd like it to be more creamy instead of syrupy. It claims to be "America's Stout..." I guess I'd prefer that over Guinness. Pick your battles, and all that.
