On tap at Basement Beer Bar. It pours a dark brown body under a dense minimal sized off-white head. Roasted malts, some lightly burnt malts, dried fruits and caramel on the nose. It's a bit thin on the palate, almost watery in a way, with a very smooth texture. Roasted malts do most of the work in the flavor too, there's definitely coffee there, but I wouldn't mind more, and there's caramel and some dark dried fruits. Long malt driven finish with a nutty touch. A nice beer, but somehow too gentle I think. 190427
