Nitro pour at the brewery. Poured a near pitch black color with a very dense, nitro bubble pour. Aroma was lots of dark chocolate, roasted notes, almost some dark fruits in there. Flavor was bitter dark chocolate. Smooth and easy to drink, with the alcohol taking the backseat, which was a nice surprise.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear orange amber color with a small white head. Aroma was notes of sweet bready malts, light sweet malt, touch of herbal hops. Flavor was light, crisp and tasty. Enjoyable. Really liked this one as an Oktoberfest beer.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a mildly cloudy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was light sweet herbal notes, some light yeast. Flavor contained more hop character than expected, citrus notes, light zest. Guess it is a hoppy saison.
