Bottle. Pours a dark brown as expected, with a little bit of a tan head. Looks a bit thin as it pours. Aromas are kind of odd... a bit of nuts and coffee and such, but there is a strange bit of something like rotting vegetable of some sort that comes and goes. While I was worried that this would show up in the flavor, these fears turned out to be unfounded. There is a heavy coffee presence with a bit of peat and something sweet like cream and nuts. It comes off as a bit thin, but is good, nonetheless.

Sample at the brewpub. this beer is a solid dark brown color with some amber highlights around the edges. Medium and creamy beige head that diminishes steadily, and large patches of lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose. Medium, dry body with flavors of roasted malt, coffee and semisweet chocolate. The finish is creamy and smooth with a mild coffee aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
