From a can, thanks GT. Pours black with a rich, tight mocha head. Nose is fresh coffee, earthy, light hops. Flavor is bright and light, a pleasant roasted coffee, light roasted malts, and bright, tempered hops. Light in the mouth with medium carbonation. Seems very fresh and well put together. Neatly dances between two seemingly different styles.

Bottle with Ray and Ryan. Pours black with thin mocha head. Notes of roasted malt, coffee, and dark fruit. I think this may have been infected because it was a bit tart. It wasn’t bad but I don’t see this noted in other reviews. I have a couple more bottles I’ll have to re-rate later.

22 ounce bottle. Dark brown, black color topped by a rocky tan head. Yeasty roasted malt aroma with light banana notes. Flavor is more banana; roasted malt with notes of smoke up front. Medium bodied with coffee-like maltiness and dry resiny hops. Finish is more chocolate and smoked malt. Brief dry finish. Not very complex, but somewhat unique.

Shared at RBWG. Pours a hazy brown with a tan head. Nose is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and some coffee bitterness. Flavor follows with some roast, some chocolate, some cocoa, and some coffee bitterness. Medium in body and very nice overall.
