Broad Axe Stout
Appearance: A solid dark-brown/black, with a nice tan head that held well. Poured from a nitro tap, so a settling period was necessary. Aroma: Roasty and malty, with a touch of chocolate. Taste: Actually a pleasant beer. The requisite malt and roast of a stout, with a big chocolate component and a bit of sweetness in the aftertaste. Nicely balanced and crafted. No coffee flavors detected on this one, though. Mouthfeel: The nitro tap really makes a positive difference, as this stout is medium bodied and will not impress you as the biggest non-imperial stout youve ever had. Drinkability: If you enjoy drinking multiple nitrogenated stouts in a session, this is a good candidate
