Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a black color with a small foamy beige head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was dryish with coffee, vanilla and floral hops. The flavor was bitter, dry and roasty with floral hops, a bit of charcoal and brewed coffee. Long roasty, charcoal and floral hop finish. Moderately full bodied. Alcohol well controlled. Disappointing.
