On tap at VeeVee's in Jamaica Plain, MA.

Pours a very dark black with a moderate head that doesn't last terribly long. The nose is surprisingly mild for such a dark beer with notes of roasted coffee. This beer tastes much more like a dark roasted porter than anything else: lots of roasted barley and bits of burnt coffee and unsweetened chocolate. The hops are tucked in the background, but balance out the dark roasts nicely.

Though a very drinkable beer, this Haverhill offering is a little one dimensional. They ashy dark roast is very nice, but doesn't evolve or develop in the mouth.
