Sampled on nitro at the brewery. Deep mahogany pour with solid dark tan head. Aroma is roasty mocha. Flavor is nice up front, bitter coffee, lactic acidity, sweetness, with a dry finish. I found the body to be very watery though, despite the nitro.

on nitro-pours a rich retaining tan head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-molasses/chocolate, roasty, secondary acidic/earthy hops. Taste is dark malt-molasses/chocolate, ashy/roasty, secondary acidic/earthy hops. Finishes with coffee after taste.

Almost black pour with tight tan head and lace. (cask) Light chocolate malt on the nose. Powdery cocco flavor with a good hard/medium bitter. Thin and slightly water. A beer that had a bit of an ashy texture. Overall pretty good. I will try again not on cask.

Draft at the Nashville beer festival. Aroma was coffee and chocolate. Flavor was roasty with a dry finish. I would like a little more body in this beer.
