Poured from a can into a tulip glass. Very dark brown color with a nice brown head and good lacing. Nice chocolate smell and taste. Easy to drink. Smooth feel. Enjoyable beer.

Why the low scores? Wow.
On tap at brewery.

Deep rich black pour with fuzzy creamy head of 1 finger.

Aromas of tobacco, leather, dark chocolate, oats, and caramel.

Flavor is huge. Earthy, piney bite followed by dark burnt chocolate, char, and caramel, and the piney bite returns and follows through to the lingering finish.

Feel is thick but not as thick as most RIS. Nice carbonation.

Overall a lot like Ten FIDY but with more piney bite and less chocolate sweetness or complexity. Not a miss even by a mile. A solid beer no doubt.
