Dba, NOLA: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate, herbs, roast, and dirt. Taste is hint of chocolate and earth at the front then gets herbal and medicinal toward the end. It is tastu and has both depth and nuance.

At Markey’s, New Orleans tap: The draft handle said it was this beer, so I will just assume that it was. In any case, it poured golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly grassy and fruity. Taste is bittersweet. Like everything else that I had on my first day in New Orleans, it was drinkable, but not so much memorable.
