Draft. Poured a clear dark brown-orange color with an off white head. Smelled of roasted nuts and chocolate. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with cocoa and dark toffee flavors. Tasty enough stuff.

on tap @Philly BeerFest III–pours an off white ring for a head and dark copper color. Aroma is medium malt-earthy. Taste is medium malt-earthy, bourbon?, nutty.

Coffee brown with small tan head. Aromas are of malts and maple syrup. The flavors include those of toasted nuts, dark brown sugar, and coffee. Medium intensity carbonation keeps the texture smooth and crisp. The ending comes a bit too soon and is dryly bitter. While drinking this brew I was thinking that it wanted to be a porter, but was stuck in the body of an ale. For some, this may be a good thing however.
