On-tap at the Burbank, CA location.

Came out a deep unassuming black. A small beige sheet of head capped it off. The nose carried notes of coffee, mild cocoa powder and faint aromas of leafy veggies. Moderate carbonation here. Decent feel. Good roasted flavors noted, as well as a bit of a hop smack on the finish. Semi-sweet dark chocolate, mild graininess. This was a good beer, and really hit the spot on this mid-afternoon stop. I'd like to see this one in bottle form.

Received a 64 oz growler as a gift 5-31-18 from my buddy Mr. Doyle. Shared with @sunsjammer earlier today.

Beer poured cola brown with a surprisingly nice head with the initial pour.

Nose had hints of mildly roasted malts with some chocolate notes.

Taste was mild roast and chocolate that was really well balanced.

Mouthfeel was light bodied and smooth.

Overall this is a wonderful session beer that is perfect for a 106 degree day here in the Valley of the Sun.

A solid schwarzbier. Lots of coffee and roasted notes. Smooth and crisp mouthfeel. A quintessential dark lager from a brewpub. Can't wait to try more of their offerings.

On tap at the Atlanta brewpub. Not a favored style.

Look: clear but near blck body with an off-white head that has limited retention.

Aroma: mild but attractive with more toffee than expected.

Flavor: follows the aroma but with ore dark roasted malts showinng.

Mouthfeel: light-medium body and medium-light carbonation. very smooth.

Overall: mild and clean.
