On tap at City Steam. Pours a dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt. Flavor of coffee, roasted nuts, roasted malt. Very light bodied, almost like a Schwartzbier. Nice and pretty tasty. Definitely must be a new batch/recipe because I don’t understand why the beer I had would get such low scores.

Tap. Aroma roasty with milky coffee. Flavor has a silky, milky sweetness and some nuttiness (almond?). Lighter bodied, but not in a lacking way, in a nice to quaff way. I have to think something has changed with this one because I can’t imagine the beer I had getting 3 sub-3’s in a row.

Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of chocolate, some licorice, earthy, roasted malt. Tastes of coffee, licorice, some nice clove hints, touches of chocolate and molasses. Very enjoyable!

3 oz sample. Roasty, musty chocolate aroma that is somewhat ill-defined with metallic notes. Moderately opaque dark brown with lightish transparencies around the edges and a light tan head. Thin, watery to start withslight chocolate roasted notes in the middle finishing with more thinness and wateriness.
