This beer starts with a slight aroma of chocolate and roast. Pours a dark ruby red, with massive amounts of visible carbonation in the glass, and a thin light tan head. Big blast of chocolate and roast, balanced with a nice touch of bitterness. Finishes slightly sweet. Not my favorite style, but this is a very drinkable beer.

VERY NICE somewhat sweet and dense dark brown ale with an ash flavor and mouthfeel. Good fresh malt flavor it is smooth and complex. Bit of bitter on the finish it is a simply surprising hybrid of a German style flavored brew made better! SATISFYING!

Reviewed from notes.
Served in a tulip glass. Pours a moderately-dark brown color with a light head and a touch of lace. Some carbonation around the edges throughout. Nose brings some chocolate, caramel, light roast, fruit, and a big dose of the Harpoon yeast, which--for whatever reason--I’m really into. Taste is malty with some light fruit and a bit of chocolate and nuttiness. Really nice feel brought on by the house yeast. Drinks really quite nice and is one of the better versions of this style that I’ve had.

Draft sample. Opaque black body with little head. Bready aroma. Flavor is sweet with some roastiness. Tasty but forgettable.
