On tap at Pigskin during OBW, poured into a OBW sample glass. Pours dark brown with small off-white head. Medium body, low carbonation, and coffee aroma. Taste is lots of roasty coffee and some peanut butter. I was expecting more, but still pretty good. This had lots of cheap coffee taste to me.

On tap a Pigskin, poured into a OBW sample glass. Pours lgiht amber with very little head. Taste is pine, grapefruit with slight bitter hop finish. Slight off taste in the center. I like my IPAs a certain way and am hard on them if they go away from this ideal. Pretty good beer.
