Poured from bottle at SAVOR. Poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was notes of espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla notes. Flavor was chocolate, earth, a touch of coffee. Mouthfeel was a bit thin for what I expected, but I enjoyed the flavors. Seems real hit-or-miss on here. Perhaps some QC on the coffee beans?

Draft at the source, courtesy of stff, thanks guys!. Murky golden amber, small off white head. Aroma is hard to describe, since I’m not sure what poplar smells like, but it worked, in combination with split fresh wood, vanilla, citrus. Taste is less bitter than I expected, with hay, vanilla, pine. Not bad.
