Draft at the first ever North Dakota Brewers Festival. Jet black color, brown head with good retention. Aroma of burnt espresso. Taste is bitter burnt pine and coffee. I went back for thirds of this one, one of the best beers at the festival.

Draft at the first ever North Dakota Brewers Festival. Tasted side by side with the base beer. The coffee is immediately apparent in the aroma. It’s there in the flavor as well, but doesn’t mask the beery characteristics, and the body and mouthfeeel are preserved very well. Very tasty. A good festival beer.
