Draft in Chattanooga. Black in the glass with a creamy tan head that settles to a thin lasting layer which leaves light lace. Nice coffee and chocolate aroma. The flavor also has coffee and chocolate with a roast backing. Medium body with a roast coffee bitter aftertaste. Nice!

Sampled at Seven Bridges in Jacksonville. Pours a dark brown with a good clarity. The aroma gives off scents of chocolate, slight smokiness. Pretty good.
