On tap at the Brewery. Black, nice tan head. Chocolate and coffee, of course, but also a fruity, garpey aroma. Pretty much the same with the flavor, as well. I like the grape note - It makes it unique and tasty. Pretty good stuff.

Tap @ Wedge Brewing Co. Black pour. White head. Flavor has a lot of roast. Very sweet roast. Light molasses, eucalyptus, and far spruce. Overly caramelized sugar. It’s just an odd complexity of flavor. Chocolate malts. Huge. Aroma of chicory, herbal hops, chocolate malts, chocolate, hops, a touch of house blend coffee. Simple nose, complex overall. AWESOME! My favorite of Wedge. <27 Oct 09>

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a reddish brown color with a medium head. Poor retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and bitter hops. Taste is roasted malts, chocolate and very faint hops. Medium bodied.

Draught at the brewery. Pours blackish brown with smallish beige head. The aroma is rich chocolate, some dark fruit, and bits of vanilla and toffee. The flavor is bitter chocolate, a little bit of roast and nuts, and some woodiness. The finish is lightly ashy. This is pretty tasty.
