on tap at the brewery, served in a mug
The beer pours nearly jet black with just the slightest mahogany highlights and about 2 fingers worth of khaki head that recedes slowly, leaving behind very little lacing
The aroma is roasted malts, bitter chocolate, coffee, and a bit of char.
The flavor, like the aroma, is dark bitter chocolate, roasted malts, coffee and a burnt/char flavor. Medium bodied and mildly carbonated, with a dry finish
Overall this is a decent beer, but not something I would seek out. OMB seems to be at their best when they are doing traditional German beers, most of their attempts at non-German styles are passable, but ultimately uninspired.
