Bright amber, medium head, assertive coffee nose, the base here is okay, a warming caramel-toffee malt that serves as base for all the roast. I suspect on its own it lacks balance (it’s sweet) but the coffee counteracts that, which is what you want a treatment to do.

On tap at Luppolo. Pours hazy pale amber with a white head. Tons of green peppers on the nose. Flavour has more green pepper, some malts, brown sugar. Poor on a couple fronts.

473 ml can. Pours a bright mahogany color with light head that settles quickly. Aromas of earthy coffee, fruit and toasted malts. Flavors of same with emphasis on coffee which overwhelms the base beer.
