Draft pour at Novemberfest 2014. Poured a dark brown head with a nice tan head. Aroma was nice roasted malt notes, chocolate, some light coffee with some pepper skins. Flavor was nice roasted malt notes, some roasted malts. Finish had a nice kick of chili peppers on the finish. Alcohol was pretty well hidden for 10 percent.

Their lighter pale ales are a little better than this IPA. Gold pour with ok head and lacing. Light bitter finish, with some sour mash. Not super hoppy, mostly because of lighter hop varieties. Tap at brewpub.
