Tap at the brewery - a dry, roasty, and smokey rendition of the style, with a light cream.sweetness and notes of berries to balance - some notes of tobacco, perhaps a little astringent bitterness from the black malts, but still a solid effort.

On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a deep brown appearance with a dark brown head. Some char, light smoke, heavily roasted malts, light caramel, and chocolate in the aroma. Medium light body. Moderate bitterness. Low sweetness. A lot of burnt ashy smoke lingers on the tongue after the finish. Some chocolate. I like it though the body is a little too thin. A hint of graham crackers as well. I’d but this again. Spoke too soon. Last gulp had some butter on the back end.
