(22oz bottle) Clear brown-black body with medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee, smoke. Taste is medium sweet, smoke, coffee, some chocolate. Watery light-medium body, really drinkable. Nothing fancy, but does just what it sets out to do.

Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a wispy-lacing tan head. Aroma of dry smoky malts with some roasty notes. Body starts lightly sweet and thinner with a hint of tartness and smoky character before a watery semi-tart light fruity finish. Needs more body and sweetness.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with kyzr (thanks!). Poured a deep brown color with an averaged sized off whtie head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and I’m getting a woody earthiness as well. Tastes of roast, smoke, chocolate, and has a light coffee bitter finish. Thnner body.

Draught at the brewpub: Dark muddy brown/black. Nose of light sweet chocolate roast. The flavor is nice and balanced, highly minerally but it balances the roast and comes across chewy and full bodied.
