Tap at 16 Tons. Ruddy brown pour with almost no head. Wonderful aroma melding chocolate, coffee and cherries, with a flavor consisting largely of chocolate covered cherries with some coffee and roastiness complimenting it nicely. I enjoyed this brew more the first time than I did later in growler form, but it was still pretty pleasant, just not quite Oakshire Heart Shaped Box level.

On draft at Venti’s for Gilgamesh pairing dinner. Dark brown with ruby tones (dim lighting), thin head with minimal lacing. Smells intensely of chocolate. The taste is very dry, chocolate and roasted malt with coffee undertones, a hint of cherry sweetness and a very mild bitterness. Medium bodied with light carbonation. It paired very well with the dinner entree (beef short ribs) and has a well-balance profile.
