Draft: Poured a brown color Dunkel with a medium size off-white foamy head with average retention and light lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with dry herbal hops notes. Taste is also a mix of grainy cereal and light caramel notes with a semi-dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. OK but unrefined malt base could be improved upon.

On tap at the brewery. Pours dark copper. Toffee, milk chocolate, raspberry, sweet cherry, biscuit. Nice full body. Decent.

Half pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is dark, dark brown (virtually opaque) with decent sparkle, finger-width beige head with fair retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is subtle earthy roasted malts and chocolate. Taste is strong chocolate and dark fruit; later toffee. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice chocolate and dark fruit/berry element. Carbonation distracts.

On tap at the source. Dark brown/black with faint garnet at the edges of great clarity. Frothy off white head persists. Bready toasty light coffee maltiness with earthy hops to counter.
