12 oz bottle (screw top) from Baruni’s in Baden, PA. Perhaps a tad too sweet, but overall quite enjoyable. For a black ale it holds up just fine.

Draft to pint. Looks solid; a transparent orangish-brown with thin off-white lacing. Smells doughy. Tastes like it smells with a weird taste that detracts from the flavor. Average (at best) on the palate. Underwhelming.

On tap at Roots. Pours a clear dark brown with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a has a combination of musty pine and creamy dark grains. Flavor has dark grains wIth a pretty song grassy hop note with a hint of dirt.

(12oz bottle thanks to mora2000) clear brown, ring of light tan head. Nose of milk chocolate, hemp, bit of chlorine, Seeds of some kind. Taste of smoke, brown sugar, dry, bacon, Cream, medium body, medium body, well carbonated.

Aroma - Nutty and malty, fresh cooked bread, milk chocolate, hint of fruit. Different, that’s for sure. I’d give this an 8 if the aroma was amped up a bit more. Appearance - Dark brown on the pour. Held up to light, the amber red comes through a bit more, but still very dark. Small light tan head that dissipated pretty quickly. Good amount of sticky lacing on the glass though. Taste - Nutty flavor up front with a very nice roasted malt taste, dark fruit, toasted oats, slightly buscuity, creamy. The hops, (or is that hemp), comes through very well. A lot heavier tasting than most other black ales I’ve had. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear this was a porter. Palate - Very creamy with low carbonation. Like I just said, a lot heavier than most other ales. Definitely feels more like a porter. Overall - Easy to drink and strong on taste! Probably the heaviest ale I’ve ever had. I’m a big porter fan, so this one is right up my alley. Definitely worth a try for the porter and stout fans!

12oz bottle - pours black with beige head and thin lacing. Nose is oaty and roasty. flavor adds grain and cough drop. Taste is a little bitter and somewhat sweet. Medium body. Not my style.

Solid black. Very thin tan head. Tastes like marble bread. Not much taste, but smooth for how dark and bready asit is. Would be amazing with smoke or oats.

Bottle. Pours nearly black with a small tan head. Bitter somewhat herbal nose. Pleasant toasted flavor, except for a hit of something like licorice in the end that was somewhat off-putting.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass. A: Pours black with a very small head that quickly fades and leaves little to no lacing. S: Roasted malt with some grain notes and a hint of a sweet chocolate. T: Follows the nose with roast malt and earthy notes. Finishes dry with a bittersweet chocolate. F: Medium body, smooth and well balanced. O: Much better than I expected. Very quaffable, easy to drink the whole 6 before you realize it... Serving type: bottle

Sweet sorghum licorices smell. Pitch black thin head from bottle. Taste is a bitter sweet sorghum strong flavor. Thick body. Weird flavor if anyone likes molasses it would be an awesome beer.
