Draft, Pours black with a thick brownish / nutty head. Taste is malt/caramel, a little nutty and roastiness. Leaves a thick and creamy presence on the palate. This is one of my fav. at TBBC with their wonderful IPA.

Pours up dark opaque brown with lasting brown head and some sheet lacing. The mild to moderate aroma has notes of roasted to burnt malts, a solid dose of oatmeal that makes itself known and backed up by sweet malt and molasses goodness interleaved with some oxidation. The taste starts sweet with molasses and malt sweetness before a mix of an oatmeal twang and oxidation quickly take over. The oxidation note may just be an over abundance of oatmeal. Not sure. It does hint (to me) at oxidation. Midway into the finish and deep into the after taste it gets roasty malts and burnt malts setting the plate for rich dark chocolate. The burnt malts seem to grow long after the beer has vanished into the gullet.
