Sample at the brewpub. Pours brownish-black with a creamy medium light brown head that diminishes slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate punctuated by coffee. Medium body with flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, hops and toasted malt. The finish is sweet cocoa initially and leaves a lingering hoppy bitterness behind. Pretty good all around.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured dark brown with a brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma was full of roasted malts with some coffee and a slight hop bitterness. Flavor was similar with coffee mellowing to more of a roasted finish combined with a slight pine bitterness. Nice and smooth texture.
