22 oz bottle poured, shared by Tcon. Thanks! Dark cola brown pour, active fizz, lasting head. Espresso, bold roasted malt nose. Intense barrel, maybe stronger than the 10% bill that somehow now seems modest. Toasty malt is aggressive, and a bit doughy late. A little dry. Tons of lingering barrel notes. Big brew and ultimately interesting.

On tap at Gilman, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma is rich, with intense roasted malt, alcohol, and a little cola. Flavour is intense as well, with loads of roasted malt, cola, a little soy sauce, and booze. The balance isn't all that great, as there is plenty of harshness and a lack of elegance here. Needs a hell of a lot of work.
