Clear copper red with a fizzy tan head. Caramel malty aroma. Roasty caramel taste with some molasses notes and a slightly bitter finish.

Tap @ brewpub. A dark brown to black with a chocolate and roasted aroma. A rich flavor. Yum!

This isn’t dark so it couldn’t be the big bear dark ale. Some marijuana skunk that’s actually very pleasant, creamy big and fat, God bless Bear Republic! This is another big BR monster. Some roasty notes. Delicious.
