Sample at the taproom. Pours nearly black with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that recedes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, hops and pine. Medium-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, roasted malt and a bit of chocolate. The finish is malty up front with a short piney hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
