Deep roasted chocolate malts. Very lovely dry roast with dense chocolate notes, licorice, wood, light salty oyster and ink notes. Moderate sweet and over medium bitter. Medium body, supple and milky feel. I really like this.

Bottle. Color: Clear orangish golden, white head. Taste: Grassy hops with some citrus hop and malty notes. Bittersweet, tending more to the bitter side but not that hoppy. Long lasting bittery finish. Pretty smooth, bit creamy. Medium body, just below average carbonation.
