We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be fiercely independent, 100% family owned, deeply rooted to our community, committed to the environment and brewers of inspired beer.

Bottle. Whoa!!! This was a big beer. Black, velvety, thick. Big chocolate cooled head. Aroma was coffee, chocolate. Taste, was thick, rich coffee and chocolate but one can still detect the hoppy undertone. Really great!

Bottle. Was very disappointed with this one. Dark amber-brown in color. Small amber head. Aroma was coffee and cherry. Taste was pretty bad. Cherry cough syrup and coffee. I believe if it had more chocolate and less coffee it would have been better.
