Courtesy of some awesome beer geek at the weekly tasting. It pours deep brown with amber edges and tan head. The aroma is chocolate, roasty malts, burnt malts, molasses, a dash of caramel and some dark roasted coffee. The taste is a bit thin in body with roasty to burnt malts, a bit of caramel, some chocolate and a thin layer of roasted coffee.

Tap @ the brewery. Pours dark brown, beige head. Aroma is light in coffee with some roasted malts. Flavor, medium coffee in the body, roasted malts, sweet with not much bitterness from the coffee. Enjoyed the beer, though I would have preferred to have more coffee. Overall profile seemed a little too thin. Many of Bold City’s beers could really be up there if only the body wasn’t so thin.

Tap@ the brewery. Pours orange/golden, beige head. Aroma is fairly straight forward with unique hop aroma adding some pine, floral touch. The malty character seems to be subdued and I picked up more of the hop profile. Flavor was similar, some floral, pine notes with light malty characteristics. Hops add to the mouthfeel though not retaining too much bitterness and adding apricot like flavor.
