12 oz bottle, pours a roasty stouty black with chocolate and hops aroma - an interesting opening approach. a tiny bit of alcohol is apparent but not boozy, and the big hops presence is a fun combination with the cocoa. full bodied with a fully bitter and dark chocolate finish - quite a nice beer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours brown with ruby highlights. Concentric lacing. Aroma has that great grassy hop smell, some roasted maltiness, some chocolate. Taste does not follow through as well, more citrusy, some caramel, some malt. It has a bit of an off flavor (spiced?). Finishes medium. Very fresh.

Aroma is very hoppy and malty, sweet grapefruit and grassy. Appearance is dark dark brown, beige head. Taste is very malty and bitter, hop presence at the back. The flavor is like a bitter scotch ale with the hops finishing. The mouthfeel is sticky, the flavor does not dissipate. Overall, it’s tasty and complex.
