GriffinAvenue (358), South Boston, Massachusetts, USA Oct 11, 2008 Draft. Deep, black cola molasses. No head. Coffee grounds, malty. Thin, black coffee flavoring with some roasted notes poking through an otherwise unimpressive offering rayOfBeer (266), El Cerrito, California, USA Oct 2, 2008 Poured from tap at brewery a very dark brown with large tan head. Aroma is mild with roasted tart/sour grain. Flavor has a burnt caramel and nuttiness along with roasted grain. The palate has a dry light malty feel with just a touch of sweetness. Overall, I like this one even ordering another. It has a good balance between flavor and fullness without being too heavy. 502Flavors (286), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Sep 13, 2008 On tap the the Columbus Microbrew Festival.
