Sample at the brewpub. Pours glossy black with a medium thick tan head that diminishes slowly. Sticky rings of lacing on the glass. Difficult to detect aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Medium, smooth body with flavors of coffee, dark malt and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a short coffee aftertaste. Just average overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a murky pomegranate juice color with a minimal white head and sparse lacing. Tart fruit aroma with touches of wheat. Light body with a tart fruit character and what I can only assume is a Marion berry flavor. Wheaty and malty notes in the background. The finish is tart berries and lingers a bit. Decent overall.

KLCC Microbrewfest ’09: Nice amber pour with a fruity, malty, and toffee aroma. Flavor is a little more earthy than expected; still some fruity, toffee, and citrus elements in the background. Even a touch bready. Finishes with some citrus hops.
