Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear deep brown with a slight amber hue and an earthy light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a rich roast and dark bread with just a hint of sweetness underlying. Flavor has a good roast and light chocolate with a bready backbone.

Canned December 12th.
Pours almost black, well, close enough to black but not pitch black. A little weak in the foam and lacing.
Smell is of roasted malt, chocolate, malty but doesn't come across as sweet. Very little bitterness. Some hints of fruit noticeable.
Taste is chocolate, light roasted malt, light bitterness, I reckon from the chocolate, low sweetness. I get some fruity notes from time to time and a bit of smoke.
On the cusp of light and medium bodied, this is quite drinkable. Good.
