Draught at the brewery, 4/1/16.
Dark cola-brown body shows good clarity and a dark beige head atop that shows moderate retention.
Heavily fruity hops in the nose are dank and juicy, mixing with lots of bittersweet chocolate and very reserved coffee notes. Fresh yeast, light minerals and hints of hazelnut linger, with light caramel as it warms. No alcohol noted.
Thankfully this one is considerably more fermented through than the cream or IPA. There’s still a little bit of worty sweetness to be had, but the roast and bitter chocolate, as well as the hops, help cover it up. The fruitiness from the hops is quite enjoyable, and the carbonation is ample and engaging leading to a moderate level of drinkability. Really the only beer I could handle drinking a second one of at the brewery.
