UPDATED: JAN 7, 2022 Draft to taster at Cugino's. Looks good; a lightly translucent dark cola with foamy beige head. Smells and tastes of a nice, soft balance of dark malt & chocolate, toast, lager yeast, and toast. Mouthfeel is medium-light to medium-bodied and mildly but pleasantly bitter. A good example of the style.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2021 On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark brown with medium beige head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is toasted malt, cocoa, roast. Slick body, cocoa, roast, cracker, dry finish, very good.

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2021 Draft at Cugino’s. Pours a deep, dark brown with amber highlights and a small beige head that settles into a ring and some faint film, leaving some lace behind. Notes of dark chocolate, nuts, cola, earth, mild roast, oak, and brown sugar. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a rich, robust, lightly sweet mouthfeel. Good.
