Dark brown in color with a three-finger, tan head. Aroma was dark roasted grains with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste was dark roasted grains, coffee and a surprisingly refreshing finish. Great beer.

Not sure what a dark kolsch is supposed to be, but I'm guessing Alligators comes pretty close to the mark. Surprising depth of flavor for a 3.8% beer, with loads of cocoa and roast and dark fruit, with a bready, yeast-tinged finish laced with smoke and espresso on the fade. No, it doesn't quite soothe a stout jones, but it's a very interesting pint, regardless.
