Black with creamy tan head. Mild roast and coffee aroma notes. Roast, coffee, chocolate, and mild sour flavours. Watery for the style with medium bitter finish.

Bottle from Total Wine in Tempe. Pours a roasted coffee color with a creamy beige head that leaves a fair amount of lacing -- especially for an oak-aged beer. Smells predominantly of toasted malts, caramel, milk cocoa, and dark fruits. Tastes much the same with added note of coffee grounds, lactose, oatmeal, and black licorice. Nice, but a bit thin on the palate.
