Can pour from The Beer Store, Salem. Opaque dark brown with nice sparkle, decent head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is slightly charred coffee, roasted earthy malt. Taste follows aroma with mild hop bitterness. Smooth, medium body, average carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength of aroma and flavor and nice body, but too charred and bitter for me.

On tap at New England Taphouse with Mrbarleywine. Pours a solid dark brown maybe black with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates. Earthy roasty chocolate nose and flavor with maybe a hint too much earthy spicy citrus hop. Coffee? maybe hidden? Not bad
