Keg at the Beavertown taproom. Pours oily black with almost no head. The nose has a good bit of burnt wood, barbecue, cocoa, dried dark fruits. Medium sweet flavor with nice dark cherries, some tangy berries, oak, moderate chocolate. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish with chewy dark malts, semi-ripe dark fruits, mild tannins, burnt oak, hints of smoke. Great stuff.

Keg at Beavertown. It pours jet black with pretty much no head. The nose is rich roast, coffee cake, smoke, earth, dark chocolate, mild acidity, fudge, tar and toffee. The taste is bitter, roasted, dark chocolate, black tea, smooth smoke, milk chocolate, treacle, berry, earth, salted liquorice and earth with a dry, roasty finish. Full body and fine carbonation. All comes together rather well. Rather drinkable.
