Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 7.5
On tap at Hogs Apothecary. I believe this one was listed at below 4% ABV. Like 3.8% or something like that. It pours a very dark brown/black color with a khaki head. The aroma is rich with bready malt. Hint of treacle. The flavor is thin, and heavily roasted. A little notes of cola, but not sweet. A little bit astringent on the palate. Ashy, smoky tobacco in the finish. Medium bodied considering the low ABV, but still comes across as a touch watery with all the dark malts. I probably would have liked it better at a more standard gravity for the style.
