On tap at Throne PHX, pours jet black with a small dark brown bead that looks like espresso. Aroma is roasty, with deep roasted barley, a touch of dry coffee, wood, and plenty of hops too. Flavour features wonderfully roasted malt, coffee, dry cocoa, wood, and plenty of hops to balance. Woody, roasty in the best way, with a creamy palate. Damn, I miss classic RIS's like this. Excellent.
