This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of finely sized brown colored bubbles. The body contained no visible carbonation, was opaque and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of nice Porter dark malt molasses and was just excellent. Its mouth feel is smooth and malty with a nice malt bite in the finish. Its flavor contained smoke molasses and sweet malty notes. It was excellent very tasty. A fantastic beer that I would love to buy again and again and again.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was black with a thin khaki head. The aroma was chocolate with hints of coffee. There were also some pancake notes. The taste was plums with some cheap coffee. There was also bread crust.

This is my favorite offering from Grizzly peaks. Wonderful dark color with a tan head that lasts, coffee/choclate flavor without getting TOO sweet. Nice finish. Pairs wonderfully with a good burger.

Sample at the brewpub: Blackish color with a medium and dense tan head that dissipates slowly. Sheets of lacing coat the glass. The aroma is equal parts malt and coffee. Medium-bodied and smooth with chocolate, coffee and malt flavoring. The finish is roasty but short with a weak showing of hops on the finish. This one started off well and ran out of gas a bit, but still above average overall.
