Sample at the Columbus brewpub. Black pour with brown around the edges and a medium tan head that dissipates quickly to a wispy film. Sparse patches of lace. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Light-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, milk chocolate and mild coffee. The finish is creamy with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
