UPDATED: JAN 11, 2011 Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was strong roasty and bitter coffee. The flavor was Bitter, roasty and dry with strong notes of gritty expresso. The mouthfeel was smooth. The finish was long, dry, bitter and roasty coffee. Too dry for my liking but well made. Solid.

Sampled at Pints for Pets. Dark brown / black with a dark tan head that doesn’t last for very long. Roasted molasses and nutty coffee aroma. Flavor has some burnt smoky nut roasted coffee. A little bit of fruitness in the flavor. I didn’t really think it had all that much body. The overall flavor was solid though.
