Keg at Top Hops - NYC. Pours black with a dense, lasting beige cream head. Good, sturdy roasted malt nose with notes of burnt pine and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with charred cedar, dark chocolate, chicory, slight orange rind, burnt toffee, minerals. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and silky texture. Lightly resinous on the finish with further charred malts, burnt wood, cocoa, dried fruits, oily pine. A very respectable CDA.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold color with a small creamy white head that faced and left minimal lacing. The aroma was tangy sugar, a bit of golden fruit and coriander. The flavor was bitter, tangy and musty with notes of table sugar, coriander and cardboard. Medium length finish. Medium boyd. Meh.
