Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close.
Decent for the style.

16 oz can from Total Wine - Las Vegas. Pours a pitch black color and root beer colored highlights and a small beige head with fair retention. Almost no lacing. Dark malt and light coffee aroma. The flavor is very dark roasted, almost charred, with a short, slightly metallic finish. Simple profile and easy drinking except for the finish. Almost really good.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear dark amber brown with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of dark grain and bread with a hint of sweetness underlying. Flavor has earthy bread and dark grains with a hint of roast supporting.
