Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours very dark, dare I say black, with thin lasting tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, burnt malts, mild malt sweetness and licorice. The flavor is smooth and blended nicely. There’s burnt malts, roasted malts, some licorice and very mild malt astringency. Very nice stout.

Draft at Brews in the Village; I drank it first, but Odeed got home before I did! Nose is piney and citrusy hops; a light hazy gold with a big yellow-tinged head; flavor is pine, hop bitterness, with a caramel note. Very good brew from this small pub! Gotta make it up and try their Strawberry Blonde!

Growler sample from Odeed! Nose of caramel and spices (clovey); light brown with a small glass-lacing beige head; flavor of caramel, spices, a little hop bitterness and some banana esters. Pretty Good!

Growler from the Brewpub and sampler at the brewpub! Nose of chocolate, roasty coffee, and caramel malts; almost opaque dark walnut with a small tan head (nitrogen pushed beer, the haed was better at the brewpub); Silky smooth mouthfeel in the medium body; flavor showing chocolate, caramel and roasted malts, with light coffe notes. This brewpub is a jewel in progress!
