Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting. It pours deep amber-brown, with a thick white head. The nose is caramel, varnish, coffee, chocolate and straw. The taste is caramel, roasted malt, charcoal, dark fruit, varnish, wood, some tang and coffee, with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Quite nice actually, but I would question the style classification of this one.
