"Very dark black-brown hue. Pours with a tan, frothy head. Medium-bodied. Mild bitterness. Mild astringency. Attractive roasted coffee nose. Shows a slight hint of sweetness and a good accent of roasted malts that come to a fine balance on the finish. Hops are perfectly balanced, just giving a hint of bitterness. Highly drinkable, classically styled." - Rated 90, Beverage Tasting Institute
