On draft at the novemberfest at rustico it is a dark brown with a slight head. The aroma is bourbon with coffee and the taste is coffee with some bitter licorice flavor that resonates on the palate

Draft at Beer Run. I think this is the first time the brewery has collaborated with anyone outside a 50 mild radius. Was surprised to see it. Pours a dark brown color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of strong coffee and chocolate, anise, mild herbal hops. The taste is bitter roast, bitter chocolate, bitter coffee, dark fruits. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness. Solid.
