On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Black with disappearing tan head. Sour dark malt aroma. Again, a bit carbonated which gave it a thin feel in mouth. Nice liquorish flavour, bit of smoke, choccy liquorice, still excellent despite the lack of fullness in mouth.

Not 100 % sure about the name, this is what I heard from the waitress and it was a new seasonal. Dark opaque brown color, small beige head. Caramelly, ashy, toasted candy aroma with hints of mint and coffee. Light to medium-bodied. Tobacco and cold coffee in the flavor. Dry coffeish-ashy finish and aftertaste.
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Small tan head atop a clear chestnut body. Aroma is moderately sweet, dark chocolate, caramel, light orange and cherry. Taste is underwhelming, especially after the inviting aroma -- mildly sweet, watery roasty chocolate, finishing roasty with trace of cherry and earthy bitterness. Medium body.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
on tap-pours a thin light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-coffee. Taste is dark malt-coffee/licorice, acidic-hops. OK carbonation.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of toasted malt and very light coffee. Medium body with pert carbonation. Black color with creamy tan head. Flavor is smooth toasted malt, transitioning to something like cola, followed by floral fruity notes. Finishes very smooth, definitely fruity, and extremely pleasant.
