Had this on my first night at the Grill for the Red Firkin night. Not that impressed with this beer. I expected it to have a bit more of a malt presence. It seemed too watered down for me. Dark color orange white head. Very light. Could have ahd a little kick!

Draft - Aroma is toasted smokey malts, toffee, and molassses. Pours thin black with small head and decent lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a fresh toasted malt finish. Palate is creamy. A good brew.

Pours a clear dark mahogany with a good head. The aroma and flavor are full of molassess maltiness and a slight touch of tar. Fairly sweet.

Draft and served in a tulip shaped glass. Dark brown-copper color with a good sized beige head. The aroma was light with fruity and chocolate notes. Some sweet roasted malt as well and a hin of smoke. Flavor of dry dark chocolate and notes of raisins. Short dry finish with a light to medium body.

My second favorite so far. Lots of rich caramel maltiness, with some roastiness and a bit of dark wheat bread in there as well. Medium bodied, slightly sweet and toasty.
