On-tap at the brewery.

A - Pours a dark brown/nearly black color, mocha-colored head, thin ring, wisps on otp.

S - Nice amount of roast, toasted malts, bitter chocolate notes, and a slight touch of bitter hoppy notes.

T - Very similar to the nose. The hops are a little more pronounced here, but the malt and roast are still very much up-front. The finish is toasted sweet malts.

M - Light body, good carbonation, clean roasted finish.

O - A solid Black Ale, but did't blow me away. Very easy to drink and goes down as a 6% beer should.

Serving type: on-tap
