Night Rider
On tap in Carlsbad Pizza Port. This was a good looking beer that had a more brown color to it than black. Nice mocha-coffee head that stuck around. Medium body with no real lacing. The smell was like the taste, earth. When I say earth I feel like I should clarify by saying malt. Not chocolate malt or a coffee flavor, but dark roasted malt. It had a real deep thick malt smell and taste. With most Imperial Stouts there is a coffee characteristic that this one does not have. I liked the different approach. A real bread-oat taste with maybe some oatmeal. Lots of grains I could taste, the ABV was lighter on the taste. Thick mouthfeel that did not have a lot of pop. I would of drank a few, but was limited on time. Recommended. J
