On tap at Diving Dog, pours a dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is fairly light for an impie, with moderate toasted malt, not a whole lot else. Flavour is along the same lines, but with a rather neutered palate. Light and watery for the style. Needs more oomph and complete restructuring.
