Bottle. Sweet chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown with a small tan head, heavy white sediment. Sour malt and metallic flavor, roasty bitter finish. Might be a bottling issue. LIght to medium body, flat carbonation.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a hazy dark brown with a light yellowish brown head. Aroma was full of malty notes with a roasted undertone as well as a touch of wood. Flavor had a more distinct chocolate note with malty undertones and a woody finish.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Dark brown/black color which shows ruby against light. Tan head didn’t last. Strong aromas of espresso and dark malt. Flavors of espresso, burnt malt and treacle notes. Finishes rather dry with decent bitter and burnt malt. Pretty good stuff.
