On draught at the tap room. Brown-black color with a medium thick beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, chai spice and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of sweet chai tea, roasted malt and milk chocolate. The finish is sweet with a chai spice and malt aftertaste. Chai is one of those love-or-hate flavors, but as someone who likes the flavor I enjoyed this.
