Really dark black. Light tan head. Smells like chocolate. Medium body; mild carbonation. It’s all chocolate until a strong coffee finish. Delicious.

Draught. Poured orange yellow with medium white head. Moderate lacing. Bitterish aroma of hop and a faint whiff or citrus. Malty flavour, with the bitter arrow. Hoppy finish, but restrained. Unfornately, this is not full bodied enough to stand up to a spicy sandwich, but bitters aren’t meant to.

Draught. Poured orange with thin fast dissipating white head. No lacing. Faint aroma, a little malt, a bit of spice. Rather bland for a saison. The spicines in the aroma was not in the flavour. A tiny bit of bitterness in the finish.

22oz Bottle courtesy of BuckeyBoy. Dark brown clear pour with a big dense light tan head. Aroma is a light roasted, chocolate tootsie roll medley. Flavor is more thin and acidic than I was expecting. Plenty of bitterness and again that roasted bite that cuts through everything. Seems kind of one dimensional and straight forward. Seems like beers this dark should be so dry. an Imperial Brown ?
