Draft at the brewery. There’s a dead bug in this one that must’ve wanted to die in style. It looks kind of happy in it’s tan, foamy death bed. The beer drinks with a fun coffee character, quite dry and bitter. Well done, as were all the SAB beers! (#4333, 10/7/2011)

on draft at nick and nate’s pizza. pitch black pour, minimal head with great lacing sticking to the glass. the aroma if of light chocolate and lots of coffee...its a non chewable stout the body is quite light and took me by surprise but if you like coffee then this is an easy drinking beer.

This beer is black in color with almost no lacing. The aroma has medium notes of licorish and candied fruits. The palate is smooth and malty with very little hops. This is not a huge bodied beer but definitely a cooler weather one.
