Dark brown color, almost black, with small creamy head. Roasted malts, but quite dusty, with rather dry mouthfeel; correct bitterness.
If I didn’t know, I would have guesses Brown Ale. And Brown Ale is not exciting.

Dark brown color, almost black, with creamy head. Strong aroma of dark caramel. Caramel flavor, light residual sweetness. A bit buttery, mildly hopped. Dry finish.
Nice, a bit simplistic.

Draft - Butterscotch and malts. Deep jet maroon with a decent beige head. Light roast, toast and some nice sweetness. Not enough hops, kinda like a Shwartz.

On tap at Dogwood, pours black with a small beige head. Nose brings out a good balance of roasted malt and piney hops. Flavour is rather muted, with earthy notes, powdery cocoa and a light, muted hop content. Pleasant enough, but rather obscured and muted. Needs more hops and a better balance. Needs work.
