Draft at the brewery. Poured a near black color with a tan head. Aroma was light roasted malts and a touch of chocolate. Flavor had a more serious dark chocolate cake character, bitter chocolate notes. Light sweetness. Tasty.

Pint pour at the brewery. Poured a dark, murky brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was lots of woody notes, touch of vanilla, sweet light grain notes. Flavor was lots of woody vanilla, bourbon soaked notes with a light grassy finish. A bit much, but nicely drinkable.

Decent roast and chocolate, but doesn’t pack a huge presence. Easy to drink, some German cake feel. Black pour with good head and lacing. Light bitter finish. Some caramel. Tap at Public Option.

On tap at CTH pours a a hazy, neon orange with very little white head. Nose has yeast, soap, orange, light herbs, a bit estery. Flavor is bright with orange and tangerine and some guava, pineapple too, straw, yeast, some orange soda. Something just a bit faux in the flavor. Oily finish. Lacks complexity but decent.
