3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2013 Draft... RBWG 2013...Tar black pour with a small, lightly-tanned head. Great retention. The nose is a blend of dark chocolate, toasted tree nuts and only whispers of rye graininess and spiciness. Full-bodied with laid-back carbonation. The flavor is a mélange of dark chocolate, acrid smoke, burnt malts and light acidity. Lengthy, acrid, moderately bitter finish.

Poured a black color at the brewery aromas of roast, earth, rye, and some malt. Flavors are the same, roast, hops, and rye, a nice beer overall.

Brown black pour. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee. Chocolate blends with the bitter to give it a sharp dark chocolate like bitter. Medium full bodied with good carbonation. A real good beer.

Tap at Intuition, RBWG. Pours a muddy dark brown with a small sudsy beige head. Nose is nutty, earthy, light peppercorn, miniscule rye. Flavor is similar, hard to decipher the spice from the rye and pepper. Found that the hops took a bit of backseat in this one.
