Keg at Bad CJ. It pours opaque black with a small tan head. The nose is rich, decent roast, coffee, dark fruits, plum, rocky road and smores. The taste is bitter, charred wood, earthy, cacoa, burnt wood, mild acidity, umami, dark fruits and earth with quite a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Perhaps too dry and charred. Flavorsome anyways. Not bad at all.
