I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
It pours a very dark brown with some reddish hues. The head is about 1 finger and is more white than tan.
The smell has some roasted malt goodness with some slight bitterness. A pretty good nose overall.
The taste is packed with roasted malt, a touch of coffee, some dark chocolate bitterness....yep, this is another tasty 4%abv brew from Zion. They must have some skilled brewers there...
The mouthfeel *just* sneaks over into medium territory, the carbonation is lightish, and it finishes with some nice roasted malt bitterness. Drinkability is pretty top notch though...the foam quickly disappeared and no lacing is to be found. Oh well, it's the taste that counts the most and I think Zion has done a great job with that here.
Bottom line: My second sample from this brewery and tastewise, it's pretty darned satisifying. The appearance is the only thing that holds me back from scoring it higher. A good American Stout.

Bottled. A chestnut colored beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of matl, caramel, hops, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and caramel, leading to a dry, roasted finish. The body is light.
