On tap at Ballast Point Little Italy, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of spicy chai, with subdued roast and vanilla. Flavour is highly spiced with chai, with subdued roast and a tiny hint of vanilla. It certainly delivers but I'm just not a fan. Lame.

Sampled from the tap a the brewery. Pours a clear dark brown with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong chai note with roasted malts, dark grains and a bit of chocolate underlying. Flavor has a great combination of roasted malts, dark grains and chai with some chocolate underlying.
