I'm not the world's biggest advocate of nitro tapped beers; essentially I feel it's an over-hyped fad and that CO2 is integral to the creation of "beer." However, with a well-crafted beer, it can enhance the flavor in delicious ways. I found the Bellhaven to be excellent; a nice apple flavor and aroma danced around a strong malty backbone, with a hint of hops and a rich creamy-ness from the nitro. I can't suggest trying it enough if you find it somewhere.

My roommate says that what had been a limited engagement with the scottish ale has turned into a month's long fling. Pint after pint is flowing out, so they keep ordering more. My tastebuds certainly won't argue. If you get a chance, I suggest you hop on down to Murphy's and try one or two; and if you see Dillon while you're there, say hi for me.
Happy Friday!

Nitro infused beers were originally introduced to mimic the mouthfeel one would experience when getting a tasty brew off of a beer engine from a cask-conditioned beer.
I'm with you though; I prefer an actual cask beer rather than nitro. Except for Left Hand Milk Stout, that beer is effing brilliant on nitro.
