Draught Beige, persistent head; black beer. Lightly smoked, very "thick" nose, bits of restsugars; pipetobacco and some chocolate. Very creamy-smooth with again just a light touch of smokiness.

UPDATED: OCT 7, 2008 (Draught) Almost black with a small, beige head. Mild aroma of roasted malt, coffee and licorice.

A very pleasant and balanced brew.
