Pours a deep reddish brown almost black color with almost no apparent carbonation and hence a very small head. The aroma is lightly roasty lightly fruity, lightly everything. The flavor is better indeed with some roasty and earthy hoppy notes with some bitter chocolate.

Draft at the brew pub. Poured an opaque black color with red highlights. Head was tan and thin, but had decent retention. It was served much too cold, so there wasn’t a whole lot of aroma at first other than some sprucy hops. A hint of cholocate came out as it warmed a bit. Still, the aroma wasn’t a show stopper. Tasted of bitter chocolate with a touch of roasty malt. There was also an astringent grassy note at times that detracted somewhat. Mouth feel was on the thin end of the spectrum. So so.
