tronraner (1391), (Louis-, Sevier-, Knox-)ville, Tennessee, USA Jul 24, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Pours black with amber edges and beige head. The aroma is quite roasty with lots of coffee, maybe some brown sugar and roasted nut hints. Flavor of dark roast coffee, and some somewhat caramelly malts behind it. Nutty and ashy in the finish with a coffee aftertaste.
