Beer #3 in the winter seasonal pack from Brewdog, tonight's offering is called Jet Black Heart - Espresso; it's a nitro oatmeal milk stout. It poured, just as the name implies, jet black, with what I call the reverse waterfall effect with the head taking up the whole glass, swirling around as it ebbs to a creamy, tan, two-finger head. The consistency is like chocolate milk, and there's a definite suggestion of chocolate milk in the mélange of flavors. Of course, again as the name indicates, there's a whiff of strong coffee. Not as obvious is the presence of notes of dark fruits: figs, dates, black cherries; and some brown sugar. This is without a doubt in the top tier of milk stouts - IGB gives it a 9.25 on the Stout Scale.
