Tap at the brewpub. Very black with a tan head. Smooth burnt/toasted malt aroma. Medium body with medium carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet, like a Baltic Porter - but mostly bitter from dark roast malt. Finishes towards dry.

(10/29/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Stockton. Black with light brown head. Aroma of coffee, some oatmeal and some dark chocolate notes. Sweetish roasty flavor with coffee, chocolate, a bit of fruitiness and a pleasant dry finish. Nice smooth mouthfeel.
