How ironic, the breweries that I am closest to, don’t get much attention. You take them for granted as if they will always be there. Had this on tap at the Bocktown Bar in Robinson Township Mall. Pours very dark brown and you can barely see into the dark abyss. Tan head. There is no red hue in this what so ever. Wet, slightly burned wood aroma. Flavor is rich with malltyness and hop bitterness. On the first taste it leaves quite an impression. Something akin to run off from a burnt wooden barrel. The finish is a barely endurable roasty astringent linger. It lasts and lingers for quite a while. Way to much personality for me. However, if you like big beers; IPA and impstouts, you better try this. Alittle more offensive than Nosferatu.
