On tap at Beer Research Institute, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out moderate roasted malt, with a touch of coffee and some hearty oatiness. Flavour is very hearty, with lots of oats, light espresso and medium roasted malt. Medium-bodied, with a great balance. Excellent.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a nice deep dark body that supports a thin mocha head of foam. The aroma offers up a dash of dark fruity esters and then larger notes of dark roasted malts and chocolate malts. Tthe taste delivers a pleasing and varied blend of dark roasted malts, chocolate and then some slivers of burnt maltiness. Just as the dark roastiness to nearly burnt malts recede just a bit a nice somewhat malt sweetened chocolate note takes over. That works. The chocolate and dark roastiness just ride into the finish on top of a smooth mouth feel.
