Tap. Pours opaque black with a large dark brown head and decent lacing. Very nice aroma of coffee, tobacco, chocolate, Kahlua. Flavor is tobacco forward, some dark chocolate, medium sweet, tobacco finish, light bitterness. Flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma, unfortunately. Light to medium body, a bit silky in the mouth.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Deep golden color with a medium white head and stringy lacing. Aroma of pine, hops and citrus. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, malt and zesty citrus. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Above average overall.

Drauight at Alembic, San Francisco
Aroma is a bit light with roastiness, some peanuts, hints of coffee and licorice. Flavour has coffee and licorice with a dry, nutty finish. Smooth and a bit watery palate. Your typical Brown Ale.

On tap. Pours with a deep, cola hued body with a medium sized tan/off-white head that fades. Aromas are nutty, caramel, brown sugar, cola, sarsaparilla, walnut, light clove, medium spicy. Flavors are malty, honey, brown sugar, nutty, cola, chamomile tea and slightly floral. Low bitterness, a bit herbal with a malty balance. Dry finish with a touch of tannin left on the tongue. Medium to slightly fuller bodied, medium-low carbonation. Very slightly warming, but otherwise the alcohol is quite well hidden.

Draught. Arbitrary score 4/5 for Appearance, as nighttime conditions prevented correct assessment. Woody, faintly fruity nose, subdued. Bitter, hoppy, but not citrussy. Again very light-fruity notes; if it’s fruit, it’s unrecognisable. Medium bodied at best, feels highly carbonated. Pleasing, if totally unspectacular beer.

On tap at the source. Pours with a ruby hued body with a fading tan head. Aromas are of caramel, fruit, medium esters and discreetly hopped. Some bready notes, but the malt bill is only mildly interesting (Iet alone complex). Flavors are dry, nutty, and cola like. Watery (as to be expected a bit) with light chocolate notes. Medium bubbles and estery. Notes of freshly popped popcorn (sans butter). Light bubbles.
