bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours near black with a long lasting tan head. It smells of roast malt with some coffee. The flavor is mainly those roast malts with some coffee and some good, mild hops. It’s medium to full bodied and nicely balanced. Enjoyable. Rerate on tap at the Temple Bar location - Almost identical rating: 7/4/8/4/14
