On tap at Stanley's NE. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has sweet citrus, flora and a touch of tropical fruits underlying. Flavor combines sweet grain and papaya with some sweet citrus and a touch of flora.

Pours a nice near black from a can. Aroma is roasted malt, black coffee, and slightly burnt chocolate/brownies. Not fully burnt, just singed enough to notice. Similar flavor but mostly the malts and the coffee. A little thin. Dry. Good beer.
