Draft at Mad Swede. Labeled a CDA, one of my favorite styles. Dark brown, near black pour with a finger of thick brown head. Hoppy aroma, lots of pine and a robust roastiness. Deep roast flavors, a small amount of citrus sweetness, and an aggressive piney bitterness. Drinks really well. I had really looked forward to trying this as soon as I heard they were brewing it... definitely it did not dissapoint. Easily the best of their brews I’ve had thus far.

Draft at Alefort. Dark black, thin body, scant head. Roasty, aroma, burnt toast. Taste Amps up the bitterness, but could use a little more heft.
