The Bad Plus

Tap at Coda - gotta give props for naming their beer after a contemporary jazz group (one that recently released a pretty sick cover of The Rite of Spring, by the way) - black pour, with a fairly thick, off-white head - similar to their Migration stout, but with lower sweetness - a bit more acidity and some bittersweet chocolate and roast - hard to tell if there is actually coffee in this, but there is a light espresso note - creamy texture - a nice balance of the sweetness and more bitter qualities (acidity and bitterness do not add any abrasiveness) - another solid offering from this brewer.
