Brewery draught, 1/27/24. Dark, mahogany-and-ebony. Small, neat, dark beige head. Fair bit of roast, not too intense, low hopping, clean, moderate yeast character. Seems very dry based on the nose, no big base malt character. Clean. Dry, toasty, but malty. Good mix of base and roasted creating plentiful chocolate character. Very low hop. Clean, simple, malty. Drying finish. Mostly chocolate and light roast. Could use a bit more mineral/yeast on the finish. I will say, it's very flavorful for its size.
