Keg at Drygate. It pours hazy deep brown with a small, bubbly khaki head. The aroma is sappy, bitter - sweet, big hit of coffee, nutty, toasted wood, cacao nibs, toffee and toasted brown sugar. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, light tannin and toasted brown sugar with a dry, toasty coffee finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but drinks well.
