Pint can. Roasted malt aroma with notes of dark chocolate, grapefruit, coffee, tangerine, floral and pine resin hops. Pours black with a finger of mocha brown head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and tangerine flavors. Finishes smooth and dry with grapefruit, floral and pine rainy hop flavors. Decent NA brew.

Can (24083) pour from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. Opaque black with tall head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt w/chocolate, bittering hops/pine. Taste follows aroma w/addition of light coffee. Smooth texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and finish as taste. Roast/chocolate is nice but hops counterbalance is a bit understated. Hoppy bite/carbonation increase would raise this up to really respectable levels. Age affects hops in alcohol beers so why not here? Might need to be super fresh.
