On tap at Forbidden, pours a dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma smells oxidized, with lots of cardboard. Flavour confirms this, with plenty of oxidation, bready malt, and underattenuated, sweet malt. No hop presence, no roast presence. Just an oxidized, lifeless, sad beer. Poor.

On tap at the brewery. Smells of sweet chocolate syrup with barley thrown in. Has a nice dark brown body and some beige head. Flavour is sweet and syrupy brown sugar with a boozy aftertaste. Mouthfeel is kind of cloying. This one's a miss, they can do dark ales but not in this fashion.
