Draft at Franklin’s brewpub. Pours a very dark brown with a thin head that soon dissipates. Flavor is mostly roasted malt, and some chocolate. Nice, but not too exciting.

Beige head atop cola brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee/roast. Taste is medium sweet, espresso, some chocolate, roast, light cola, lactic sourness. Coffee bitterness, but no hoppiness. Light-medium body with light stickiness.

Growler from the brewpub. Pours a slightly watery, totally opaque black with a white head that ringed the glass. Smells of toasted malt and nuts, coffee, grain and biscuit dough. Flavor is all sweet, roasted malts, nuts and grain. Finish is slightly watery with a slight lasting roasted taste. Great session beer, lacks some complexity, but very drinkable.
