Dark brow pour with a fluffy tan head. Coffee on the nose. Similar flavor combined with a doughy/ bready finish

Black, tan head. Coffee-ish aroma, but a bit faint. Flavor is coffee-ish, and a touch of butter. Some burnt toast notes, too. Maybe a hint of smoke, but not a whole lot. Sampled at Brewgrass 2008.

On tap at Brewgrass. Pours a dark, dark brown with a small head. This stuff smells sweet. Yeah, lots of sugary qualities like Tootsie rolls, root beer, funky chocolate, and some thin coffee are found. The palate is semi watery. Flavors of sticky cotton candy, gas station fake cappuccino, wax chocolate, and toffee are hinted at. I was not a big fan of this one. It’s thin, yet somehow overly sweet.
