2008 MiBGF: Opaque with a small frothy head. The aroma has notes of coffee, chocolate, roast, plum, pepper, and an earthy yeast character. The taste is very roasted and charred with a slight lacto sourness and chocolate undertone. The favors profile seems to peter out after awhile. The mouth feel is watery and thin. Drinkable enough.

Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Poured clear black color with an average frothy brown head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted chocolate & coffee aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium roasted dark chocolate flavor with medium bittersweet finish of short to moderate duration. Good complex beer.
