UPDATED: DEC 20, 2023 On tap at Kona Brewing - Hawaii Kai, pours a deep dark amber-tinged dark brown with a small tan bear. Aroma reveals toasted malt, a touch of roast, and a touch of red fruits. Flavour has a rich malt character, with medium roast, some dry earthiness, and a hint of dry cocoa. Dry, toasty and earthy. Good stuff.
