Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head that fades fairly quickly, but still leaves the body pretty opaque at around 80%. Aroma of toasted malt, light coffee and bitter notes some mellow chocolate and dry grain with very little else, and absolutely no sweetness. Light to Medium-bodied; Deep bittered malt flavours with some toasted grain, a touch of oatmeal, a dose of coffee and light chocolate grain but no sweetness from the chocolate or bitterness, as these flavours hit hard at first and fade to just about nothing but a light bitterness, nutty flavour and dry grainy flavour towards the end. Aftertaste shows some of the grain and bittered toasted malt with nothing else - no pungency, no sweetness and no real alcohol or malt backbone - this is pretty thin and bittering at first and for all. Overall, a decent-ish beer with some mild and relatively simplistic flavours without much depth or pungency, which is usually noticeable, especially for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Hop City at Krog Street Market (Inman Park) in Atlanta, Georgia on 31-May-2018 for US$1,79 sampled in my hotel room here in Atlanta/Buckhead, Georgia a few hours later on 31-May-2018.
