Poured an opaque deep brown color with a cream tan head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of dark chocolate, carob raisins and tobacco leaf. Earthy and citrus hop notes mix through. Mix of citrus and dark roasted malt. Bitter finish with a decent length seems to be from the hop not the roast. Medium bodied.
