33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A clear chestnut pour with a thin beige head; slightly musty carmael malt aroma; smooth caramel taste, with a satisfying bitterness, and some chocolate notes to finish. Rather good.

Keg at Mondo. It pours darkest brown, near black with a small beige head. The aroma is rich, earthy roast, coffee grounds, light sweetness and a touch of spice. The taste is bitter, earthy, cocoa nibs, chewy malt, coffee grounds, umami, dark fruits, berry skin and a touch of acidity. Finish is bitter - sweet and toasty. Overall not bad. Decent character.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours totally clear with a thick, creamy off-white head. The nose holds ripe, lightly dank citrus fruits, orange, melon, grapefruit, pine. Medium sweet flavor with rich citrus, melon, papaya, oily pine, bready malts. Medium you ll bodied, lightly chewy, with fine to average carboantion. Resinous and lightly warming on the finish, with gooey citrus fruits, bready sugars, some goopy pine, more orange, melon, pineapple, papaya and mango. A little piney bitterness in the aftertaste. The beer sits a bit heavy on the palate, but the hop expression is solid and it’s a good beer overall.
