I've never had it on tap. However, even if served with nitrogen the keg of beer would be no different. The bar could choose to serve it on Nitro. I know BJ's here in San Antonio serves their stout and their porter on Nitro. I've also had pale ales, bitters and others served on nitro.
I had one on tap as well last Saturday (1/11)..and I was wondering the same thing. It was waay smooth. I know there is no Lactose in RIS...so I was also wondering why it was as smooth as milk.
I am not a fan of nitro myself..for instance with Left Hands Milk Stout...I didn't like the Nitro version as much as standard CO2
Yeah, they didn't have the first 2 beers I asked for, so I wasn't sure if they were trying to pull a fast one on me and just give me something different. But drank about half and it have me a nice warming feeling. It's gotta be OLD Rasputin. I had it in a bottle years ago so I don't remember how it taste. It's good but I rather it not be nitrogenated
Not really true. Beers that are going to be served on nitro have to be carbed to a much lower level, so the keg would have had to be carbed at the brewery to a lower level.
