On side pull at Swiftwater Brewing Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a creamy looking dark black color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells chocolatey, with some roast, oak, light vanilla, and a touch of caramelly/vanilla-ish sweetness.

This wasn’t in barrels for very long, and that works well. There’s just a hint of barrel character – maple, oak, and a touch of caramelly sweetness, on top of a nice roasty and chocolatey lager base.

This is light bodied, but very creamy, and super drinkable.

The first batch of the regular Tmave or The Highway is probably my favorite Swiftwater beer ever, and this is a fun twist on a great beer.
