Poured a black color with a tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, with notes of earth and dark chocolate. Flavor is malts, touch of earthy and pine hops, with a touch of chocolate notes. Smooth, and pretty enjoyable.

On tap at the new brewery. Pours with a quite near black body with a lasting tan head with good lace. Aromas are roasty with some floral and citrus notes. Cocoa, roast and earth. A bit on the roasty side in the aroma. Flavors are a bit too roasty for my tastes, but some playful esters and basic citrus hops are a nice counter balance. Good flavors overall with some resiny hops. Medium to lively bubbles. Dry, roast linger.
