On tap at Brewerks, pours a deep dark brown/black with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out a fair amount of roast, moderate woody hops, and a touch of fruitiness. Flavour is surprisingly light given the specs — quite bitter, roasted but light on the mouthfeel. Very light — this is an imperial? Well, it certainly packs in some hops and woody malt. Excellent.
