Sample at the North Market Microbrew Festival on 09/12/2009. The beer is a flat black color with a thin light beige head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt and dark fruit. Medium, smooth body with flavors of milk chocolate, mild coffee and plum. The finish is somewhat roasty with a mildly bitter coffee aftertaste. The plum flavor is subtle but it is there. Interesting and pretty good overall.
