Draught at the brewery, 4/23/16.
Dark brown-mahogany with darker ebony throughout and light clarity on the edges with a tan head that quickly subsides.
Not sure if you get any of the orange in the nose, perhaps just a hint of citrusy rind. But mostly it’s given to the brandy-like dark fruit, vanilla and tons of chocolatey-tinged roast. More "dry" on the end, with brown bread and light caramelized brown sugar-like notes.
Orange is very light in the flavor, giving more of an acidity and mild citrus character than any actual fruit/juiciness. Definitely gives the effect of a chocolate covered orange, or milk chocolate with orange. Quite nice, actually, and the orange and dryness plays nicely with the "sweeter" brandy notes and dark fruits. Low carbonation and ample, as usual, with no flaws and a light alcohol dryness on the end that mixes with the light bitterness from the orange. Slightly tannic and with hints of wood but mostly a mix of the dark fruits, chocolate and light vanilla.

2 oz pour on draft at Jack’s Abby. Consumed on 4/21/2016. Dark brownish black with tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, red wine, oak. Tastes of red wine, oak, dark fruit, dark chocolate. Medium-full body with a dry finish. Very good.
