Draft(pin) @ Hulmeville Inn. Dark pour, wth some brown head. Wasn’t too impressed by this, flavor was roasted, chocolate, malt , and some licorice. Beer didn’t go down to easy, Alcohol was quite easy to notice, and pales in comparison to other RISes.

Draft at Craft Ale. This one pours onyx with deep brown head. Nose is dark choc, coffee, molasses, heavy dark malt. The nose was great, and I partook of its greatness for a few minutes. The palate was smooth as sik, with nary a sign of spirity heat, and flavors of dark patent malt, chocoff, molasses, cacao, nuts, figs, and slight blackberry. This one was outstanding, and I will rate it again ASAP, because the conditions were not ideal, but this one just might have a chance to become one of my extremely select perfecto robustos.

Blackish in color with alot of roast, coffee, and dark chocolate in the nose. Flavor is bold and roasty with some alcohol, coffee, and maybe a hint of oak. Very in your face, but not as well crafted as I would desire.

Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of bitter coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, wood, and slight burnt malts. Medium body. Tingly, chalky texture. Average carbonation.
