Bottle. Pours a very deep ruby with an average size diminishing beige head. Aroma of toasted caramel malt, light chocolate, a hint of peat, nuts and some lightly sour coffee (it makes sense to me). Slightly watery flavour of lightly roasted malt with notes of coffee & chocolate, some peat and nuts -- all light, mild and mellow -- not bad at all. Light to average bodied. It’s alright, it needs more body and a bit more flavour but it’s drinkable and I’d drink it again.

Bottle purchased at a beer store in Portsmouth, NH--Poured a brown-black body with a thickish off-white creamy head. Nutty, chewy, roasty, gripping body. Calm, clean and highly palatable with a mild chocolate finish. Nice beer.

Dark brown, moderate head. Aroma is malty, sweet, and some chocolate too. Flavor is sweet and malty with some hints of sweet chocolate. No hops to speak of. I find this beer is a bit underrated in my opinion.

Another solid session brew from the Hat. Tap at Blind Tiger. Short head on the poor. Big chewy roast, chalk, peanut britle. Flavor is similar, clean, a touch of sweet, great roast, good lager qualities, very drinkable.
