Taster pour on tap at Tapped, Maplewood, MO. Appearance is dark brown--almost opaque black--with no discernible sparkle, finger-width light brown head with good retention and mild lacing. Aroma is mild roasted malts. Taste is moderately strong roasted malts, earthy bitterness. Palate is medium-to-full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, pretty straightforward without a lot of complexity but good.
