| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 14, 2008 On tap at Lunar Brewing. Black/brown, cloudy pour, with a light tan, mostly diminishing head, but leaves plenty of coating lace. Chocolate, light coffee, a bit of smoke and wood, and a touch of sweetness, maybe molasses and caramel in the aroma. These notes follow to the flavor in a lesser degree with some nice hop bitterness. The body is light to medium and the texture is creamy
