Sep 2, 2009 On draft at the Miami location. Clear medium brown with semi reddish highlights and thin ring of off white head. Nose is attempting for roasty but just comes off as plastic and sickly sweet with horrible nail polish. The flavor is just as bad, like licking a dog turd. Can’t really even describe how bad this is. There is a roasty finish though...

Sep 2, 2009 500 ml draft at the downtown Kansas City location. Pour is clear ruby brown and black, with an ever so slight haze. One inch off white head falls fast. Decent lacing. Aroma of nutty roasty malt, some mild sweetness, light diacetyl. Taste is dusty and dirty roast nut malt, bright earth hop. Palate is thin, medium carbonation. Drinkable, though watery enough to dilute malt character. Just OK.

On tap at Gordon Biersch in Las Vegas. Pours a dark brown to black with a thin tan head. Nice light smoke and caramel, roast. Medium bodied, nice thick malt with a good roast component. Light coffee and roast notes on the finish. Well done.
