Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it dark brown body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up roasted malts, hazelnut, filbert nuts and spiced brown sugar and molasses. The taste delivers smooth caramel malts, brown sugar, molasses, malt sweetened spicy black licorice and then a wafer thin echo of sweet prunes. Another sip reveals a thin layer of malt sweetened hazel nuts. Nice.
