Taste is dark fruit-prune, dark malt-licorice/chocolate/molasses, spice-including cinnamon, syrupy, secondary/faint hops bite, although listed as zero IBU’s.

Sample at the brew pub: Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin and dense light beige head that retains well. Top ring of lacing on the glass with spots underneath. The aroma is thoroughly malty with a moderate caramel and hops presence. Medium, smooth body with a decent balance of malt, hops and fruit flavors. The finish is mostly sweet, earthy hops to start, and leaves a nice hops aftertaste. One of the better brews I tried at Tun.

Sample at the brew pub: Clear orange-amber color with a medium thin ivory head that dissipates steadily. The citrusy hops aroma is potent and welcoming. Medium-bodied with a piney hops character, and a sweet malt underbelly. The finish is moderately hoppy and citrusy and stays on the tongue for a bit. Above average, although not by a lot.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Sample at the brew pub: This brew is solid black with a medium thin and fizzy beige head that diminishes rapidly. Specks of lacing. Nutty, roasted malt aroma. Medium-bodied and smooth with roasted coffee and malt flavors that fall off pretty fast. There is a touch of chocolate as well but again it retreats quickly. The finish is on the thin side and feels soapy, with a lingering hops and coffee aftertaste. Average, and would be significantly better if it weren’t so timid.
