On tap at The Beer Temple, pours a deep dark muddy brown with a medium beige head. Aroma has a juice balance of roasted malt and earthy hops � pretty classic. Flavour is much the same, with moderate roasted malt, toasted notes, and potent earthy hops. Could be more potent but the balance is right on. Roasty and bitter, but easy-drinking. Very good.
