On draught at the Columbus brewpub. Pours black with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a dense film. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Medium to full body with flavors of charred malt, bittersweet chocolate and mild coffee. The finish is roasty with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

14 oz goblet draft at the Gordon Biersch in Leawood, Kansas. The pour is a hazed golden orange with a small white head that leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is herbal sweet, along with fruit and a bit of floral grass hop. The taste is the soft Belgian yeast notes, mostly herbal, balanced softly with the grass floral fruit hop. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation, the finish is grass, softly bitter along with some alcohol. Solid.
