Dark with a frothy beige head. The aroma is really smoky and coffee like. There’s some nice bitterness on the flavor. Some chocolate also with a rather burnt character. I enjoyed this surprisingly more than I expected to. Quite tasty.

Brown-black body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee, chocolate, roast. Taste is medium sweet, strong coffee with attendant roasty bitterness, some burnt. Evokes coffee grounds. Medium-full body. My friend tells me that this beer can be quite good but that it’s pretty inconsistent -- he felt that we were having it on one of the bad days.

On tap @ GF Blues and Brews Festival. Pours a deep dark brown color. Aromas of coffee, hint of chocolate, and some smoke. Flavor was espresso like with some smoke lingering on the finish.

(3/02) Pours black and thick with smallish head (bad glassware sanitation, I think) that lingers but does not lace(?). Espresso roasting on the nose, some burnt chocolate. BTW-how nice to have a non-smoking brewpub where you can actually smell the beer! Smooth palate coats the mouth with a mild but slightly bitter roasted maltiness. Pretty one-dimensional, but tasty and cheap during happy hour.

dry roasted aroma, soft and choclatey then intensely roasted, nothing exceptional or unique
