Tap in Santa Cruz: Hazy amber,lasting off white head. Hop nose. Scant hops in the flavor,not as many as their pale ale. Not one of their best

Bottled. Black with beige solid, lasting head. Licorice aroma. Dry and medium bodied. Really tarry with chewy malts and a long bitter finish. Well balanced.

Huge lasting tan head. Sweet fruity nose. Roasted flavor, but gassy and thin. Not a good offering from this excellent brewery.
