Sample at the Ale Wine & Spirits beer tasting on 04/03/2014: Pours a brownish-black color with a medium beige head that dissipates steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Roast malt, coffee and yeast in the nose. Medium-bodied with a roasty character and flavors of chocolate malt, coffee and mildly herbal yeast. The finish is malty up front with an earthy yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
