Cask pour, hand pump. Brown unfiltered body. Creamy steady beige head. Pretty unimpressive, the mellow cask body is about all it has going for it. Cherry coke like amber malts. Almost like a brown ale at times. Boring, bland. Caramel sugar finish.

Growler from cask at the brewpub. Pours a translucent, slightly watery, dark brownish black with zero head. Smells sweet with malt, some toasted, roast malts but not a whole lot else. Flavor is watery coffee, toast, bread and a little milk chocolate. Light, watery mouthfeel, very little lasting anything. A big miss.

draft - Smells very mildly of roast malt with a hint of coffee. The flavor is dark roast malts and coffee. There’s a medium body and a dry finish. It’s okay for the style. rerate, cask pour from the brewpub - It looks great as a good cask pour so often does. The dark body and creamy head are most appetizing. Chocolate malt and some light hops join for a well-rounded flavor in this very enjoyable brew. It’s a major improvement over last time I had it. 7/4/8/4/15. Averaged the scores in my rating above...

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Starts with a very strong coffee and chocolate smell. The first taste even brings out a bit of chicory. Turns kind of dry toward the finish. With all that dark roast malt, it’s closer to a stout. But extra points for being on cask.
