From Good Times Oakland, canned October 23rd 2025.
It pours almost pitch black with a finger of tan foam, lacing and retention are very good.
The smell is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some toffee, some vanilla.
The taste is roasted malt number 1, sweet and dark chocolate number 2, coffee number 3. Bitter over sweet by a margin. Vanilla seems to not be there to my palate.
Medium bodied(high end), good carbonation, I would drink this again.

On tap at Pizza Port - Carlsbad, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma has gently smoked malts, some nice agave sugars, and bread crusts. Flavour is dry, with plenty of smoke, some attenuated out agave, and toasted bready caramel. Pretty smooth and light-bodied, but has some nice smokiness and good malt structure. Solid.

On tap at Pizza Port - Carlsbad, pours a clear dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice vibrant piney hop character that melds well with the toasted malt. Flavour is wonderfully balanced between the toasted malt and earthy hops, almost more like a CDA, with a dry, toasted, bitter finish. Wonderfully balanced and constructed.

On tap at Pizza Port - Carlsbad, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of rum barrels, dark sugars, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is on the drier side for such a beer, with big sticky sugars that’ve mostly been fermented out, moderate rum barrel presence, toffee, and bready caramel. Great blend of malts, smooth barrel expression. Very good.
