Coffee, roast. Pours black with some mocha head. Finish cloys a bit, mash malt kind of vibe. Tap at Roosevelts at 7.

Sixer from Total Wine in Dallas on a work trip. Drank a few, took the rest home & lost track. Best by 4/14/25.
Pint glass at home. Clear, dark, russet amber pour with a tall, sticky tan head.
Mellow soot, subtly smokey & mellow sweet chocolate coffee nose.
Taste is chocolate-laced coffee with some dark salty bread, slight calcium edge on the tail.
A twinge too strong but the first two went down really fast.
Good.

On draught at Freakin’ Frog. Brownish-black color with a medium foamy tan head that recedes steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Light-bodied with a roasty coffee and malt flavor with some chocolate in the background. The finish is sweet with a caramel mocha aftertaste. Above average overall.

The Ginger Man, Houston tap: Pours near black with a brownish head. Aroma is chocolate and plenty of coffee, though I was not too impressed by the particular type of coffee. The beer itself was a little sweet, with some light chocolate notes mixed all up in there. Additionally, the body was relatively light.
