Draught @ Ginger Man. Inky dark brown with large foamy tan head, faint roasted malt/ chili pepper aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter roasted malt taste with lactose, chili and coffee, somewhat thick body, long bitter finish with a bit of burning throat afterwards. The hot chili had blended well.

A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, rather strange mix of beans, chocolate, dog food, not good. In mouth, a nice strange mix of cinnamon, bitter chocolate with harsh mouth feel, unpleasant. On tap at Syracuse Winter Brewfest 2017.
