Kinda like Daytime's big, dark and scary sidekick, this ale is packed full of highly roasted malts then bitterly balanced with fistfuls of the dankest hops. Not for the lunch crowd or the faint of heart.

Black color, big beige head. Aroma of pine and roasted caramel. Balanced taste of dark, roasted malt and hops. Decent bitterness. Roasted and hoppy aftertaste. Perfectly hidden alcohol.

Unknown vintage; drank 4/4/15 @ the Yarchives.
Dark brown appearance with khaki flotsam.
HUGE dark tan head (careful pouring!); frothy, tree-rung lace.
Pickle, smoke & orange citrus nose; odd & unappealing.
Medium mouthfeel.
Pickle, acrid smoke & creamed coffee flavors up front; faint orange juice finish.
Simply terrible.

22oz bottle. No dating information found.
Dark brown colored body, with reddish back lit highlights. Two fingers of light tan head, settles down to a pillowy cap. Leaves behind some small webs of lacing.
Aroma of roasted malts and flowery hops.
Taste of roasted malts (coffee and chocolate), with floral hops and a touch of citrus.
Medium plus mouthfeel. Initially smooth and then turns to drying bitterness. Very good carbonation.
Reminds me of a hopped up cola with a drying finish.
