Rather thin but dark pour with quite a huge brown head. The nose is dominated of burned malts with hints of caramels and coffee. I sense a bitter citrus flavour together with a nice roasted malty finish. The palate is too waterish imo.

Poured from bottle. Dark as a coke with a nice thick brown head. Smells malty but has a hint of cantaloupe. Very smooth and sweet flavors of coffee and chocolate. Nice and creamy on the tongue. Very nice.

Dark reddish black pour with beige head. Strong malty nose. Deep roasted malt flavor with a surprising sharp pang of bitter bite. Good to great.

kind of so so to me. not very complex. roasted malt and more roasted malt. no head. mouth feel not the greatest, i found it to crisp. need to rate this one again.

Bottle 08.’ black pour with a nice bone white head. sweet with complex hop bitterness. rich and roasty. great malt flavors.

On Draft - Very dark with a white head. Aroma is slightly smoky, roasted malt. The taste was much the same with a bit of a bitter hop finish and a nice creamy feel. Nice beer.

the beer pours a deep black with a thin off white head that leaves a nice lacing. the nose is a nice mix of burnt malts and sweet chocolate. the body is somewhat water but the flavor is a nice mix of toasted malts and burnt sugar. the finish is slightly acidic and medium lived.
