Served on draft at the Sterling location on 4/30/11. Pours a dark brown color with a thin head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and rich coffee notes. The taste is coffee, roasted malts, faintly sweet notes and an ashy/coffee ground finish. Thin-medium bodied. Almost a good beer.

A dark red-brown beer with a dense orange head, that leaves some lazing on the glass. The aroma is sweet with lots of chocolate, and lighter notes of roasted malt. The flavor is of coffee, vanilla and lightly of chocolate - reminds me of a speciality coffe roast.

Dark brown in colour watery at the edges with a minimal light brown soapy head. Aroma of faint nuts, coffee, roasted malt and a small amount of sweetness. Medium-bodied at most; Strong bitterness follwed by an astringency that lasts for a while. Some nuttiness on the palate while a bit of roasted malt hits and remains bitter. Overall, a decent beer-a bit too watery and somewhat bland...but not too bad for a small brewpub! I had this pint on draught at the Merrifield, Virginia location on 30-April-2004 with my good friend Jon (JonR888710).
