I am actually amazed that this brewer actually bothered to make anything other than a shitty pale ale since that seems to be all that they know how to do. +++ Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a medium sized foamy dark tan head that left good lacing. The aroma was dry, roasty, dusty and had faint floral hops. The flavor was roasty, bitter and dryish with wood, cocoa powder, floral hops and a hint of smoke. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.
