on tap-pours a thin off white head and mahogany color. Aroma is roasty/molasses-medium malt, dark fruit-yeast? Taste is roasty/molasses-medium malt, dark fruit-yeast. Mild/minimum carbonation.

This beer smells like chevre, I don’t know why. But its a pretty brown color, and has a great roasted malt flavor and body. Nice and solid beer. Except for the goat cheese thing.
