Black brown pour with mocha top. Smells of chocolate and brown sugar. Roasted malt flavor followed by sweet and chocolate goodness. Silky smooth on the palate and warming. It hits you after a bit; I would guess it is over 10%.

Serving: Draft at Fireworks. It pours a nice dark brown color with a small head. The nose leads with roasted malt and some milk chocolate. The flavor has that plus some flint, milk sugar, and an underlying fruitiness. Medium to full body with a lingering fruity finish. Definitely a nice brew and worth a try.

Dark in color with a thin brownish head. Aroma is of malt and banana. Roasty, but a bit sweet and caramel like. A bit creamy, but not thick. Smooth and light finish. Some hints of chocolate, but more like milk chocolate than a bitter strong cocoa.
