UPDATED: JAN 1, 2022 Can, from the brewery. Pours clear reddish dark brown with a large spongy tan head, roasted malt-dark chocolate aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter mocha-roasted malt taste, smooth thin body, long roasted malt finish. Very smooth, a good brew!

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2021 Can 16oz. Dark brown with light tan head. Nice dark lager with a toasty, chocolate taste. Nice

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 Pours a near black from a can, light colored head somewhat dissipates. Lightly roasty, chocolate notes are faint. Lightly sweet but also dry on the tongue. A very nicely understated but on point beer in a less-common style. Very good beer.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 Excellent dark lager / if you like good Vienna’s and European lagers versus the nasty American versions, this is your guy here. Just dark and chocolatey enough.

UPDATED: NOV 29, 2021 What a day, a first day in many ways and certainly one which marks leaving the nomad lifestyle behind for the more mundane day-to-day march in as a lemming but nonetheless something which will be good for me, open up opportunity, and allow me to open up more really great beers such as this one as I move toward 10x.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2020 Pours mahogany-tinged cola into a shaker. Mocha pancake head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Milk chocolate and dark caramel aromas. Dry and thin with sweet caramel and toasted brown bread front to back. Lasting dusty chocolate finish.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2020 16oz can. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is grain, licorice, toast, some earth, and a little roasty/burnt coffee. Taste is coffee grounds and toast. Vague coffee fruitiness towards the end. Light-medium body. Medium+ carbonation. Thin, watery mouthfeel. It's doesn't really taste of much.

UPDATED: SEP 24, 2020 Can thanks to William. Pours a very dark brown with medium beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong cocoa, licorice, raisin, bready malt. Slick body, cocoa, roast, raisin, lingering dry finish, very nice.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2020 Can from Chris: pours darkish brown with a beige head. Aroma is malty molasses, earthy hops. Taste is slightly sweet, plenty malty, nice finish, slight toast. Good.

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2019 16 oz. can. Almost black. Smells of nutty, bready, and light chocolate malts. A bit of spicy hop. Tastes of spicy hops and light roasted malt that comes off slightly sharp. Finishes with a little lingering malt and sharpness. Light body. I don't drink a lot of this style, but I don't remember the ones I have had being this acidic.
