Pour is a complete black with a small tan head. Aroma is a decent roasted malt with a little grapefruit hop lingering in the back round. Flavor is again a decent roasted/char malt with a very small citrus and mint hop. Decent roast malt profile but just not enough hop presence. I remember when this style was the big up and comer about 6-7 years ago. It's kind of hard to find this style out there anymore.

On tap at the source. Appearance is dark brown/black with finger-width beige head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate. Taste is bittersweet roasted malts, light earth. Palate is light bodied with thin, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice roasted malt contribution but could have used a little more hop balance.
