Draught. The look is dark, black in color, thin tannish head, light tan head. The smell is roast, malt, burnt, coffee, and chocolate. The taste is roast, chocolate, malt, coffee , and good.

On tap (Batch 6). Pours with a black hued body and a medium sized tan head. Looks the part: menacing. Aromas are of licorice, ashy, toffee, lots of drying roast, a bit nutty malt, low hop. Flavors are of tobacco, dry, nutty, fudge and cocoa. Medium smoke character. Fuller bodied but dry on the finish. Medium-low carbonation.

First beer I have tried at pinthouse. Really great balance of strong bitterness with sharp roasted flavors. Crisp and clean finish.

Dark black beer. Skim milk consistentcy. Little tan bubbly head. Cool toasty malt and nutty aroma with a little bit of toffee. Cool taste with baking cocoa, and bitter toffee. Very smooth... no sign of 9.1 except how satisfied you feel at the end of the pint.
