Sampled on draft this beer poured almost black with a medium sized foamy beige head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint with wood, coffee and chocolate. The flavor was toasty with wood, coffee and cocoa followed by floral hops. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.

Rate #1600! 32 oz growler poured into a 3 Stars snifter/tulip. Birthday gift from a friend who picked this up on draft at the brewery, thanks Ben! Filled on 11/16/2014, opened/consumed on 11/17/2014. Black with no more than half a finger of light tan head that fades quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate, chocolate syrup, some vanilla, just a hint of booze. Tastes of big chocolaty notes including dark chocolate and chocolate syrup, caramel, a bit of vanilla. Medium-full body with a dry finish. Alcohol is pretty well masked. Had this on cask awhile ago but this is better than I remember!

12oz pour in the tasting room pours a muddy, deep brown with a ring of white head. Nose is like straight hershey syrup, some mild raspberry, some mild vanilla. Flavor is straight cocoa powder, a little bready, some root beer. Chalky finish.

Brownish red pour. A little bit of a trash-like aroma on cask. Some roast, vanilla and light cocoa. Watery consistency. Cask at Pizzeria Paradiso in Dupont.

Growler from the source. Hazy maroon brown color, scant head. Aroma of dark milk chocolate. Taste is vanilla, cocoa, slight booze. Very nice.
