Frothy tan head on a near black body. The nose is classic stout, with chocolate first and coffee underneath. The taste features some powerful elements - bitter chocolate, very freshly ground coffee, creaminess with raisins. The big elements resolve nicely. There is no fooling around here. Big fresh, challenging tastes.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-golden yellow color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Some stringy lace.
The aroma had some peaches and grassy hops.
The flavor leaned into the sweetness of the blend. Same sort of aftertaste and finish, which was fairly sticky.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, trying to figure out why this is considered a \"specialty grain\" as there wasn’t any rye in it. Unless I missed it. Then again, it is Davidson.
