Pours black with a tan head. Smell is nicely roasty with a light coffee element. Taste is thinner than the smell with roastiness and a light coffee flavor again. Bit too watery with a light body and medium carbonation. Decent, but not great. OldMrCrow (1202), Seattle, Washington, USA

Pours deep black with a nice light-tan head. Roasty nose with some berries in the background. Straightforward flavor, not over-roasted, mild blackberry, gently sweet, pretty aggressive carbonation making it not quite quaffable. Pretty nice beer. igneous1 (1374), Davenport, Iowa, USA
