Growler from the brewpub. Pours a clear very dark brown color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big roasted malts, chocolate, herbal hops. The taste is herbal, earthy, pine and citrus hops with a roasted malt finish. Medium bodied. I’m not really like the way this fits together.

Batch 14 at cellar temp in a tulip. Poured mocha black with a 2 finger coffee colored head. Okay lacing. Smell is dominated by chocolate followed by espresso beans and vanilla. It’s a nice roasted character. yeah, lots of chocolate, hints of lactose and sweet bitter finish. No fruits, a lot of oak actually in the middle. Solid brew. ---- Update, had batch 15 of this on August 30th, 2014. this batch was pretty much infected. tasted like welch’s grape juice and red wine vinegar.
