Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear brown with a very large foamy tan head that laced. Aroma of dark malt and lightly spicy chocolate. Med body. It's earthy, fairly dry, and moderately bitter. Flavor is dark malt and chocolate. Some pine notes. Very smooth and tasty.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a nice dark mahogany colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy to woody to piney hops wrapped in a thin dark roasted malt blanket. The taste delivers similar notes with spicy to piney hop bitter goodness followed by a bit of burnt malts, dark roasted coffee and some chocolate malts. Solid easy drinking CDA that doesn't get rich or deep in flavor. I dig it.

On tap at Stone Escondido, pours a dirty dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice balance between earthy hops and roasted malt—though fairly laid-back. Flavour is well-balanced, with lots of earthy hops, medium roast, some pine, and a dusty, dirty malt base. Nice balance of hops and malt. Great stuff.
