Had on tap at the brewery.

On arrival just under a finger of tan head was present that dissipates to a thin covering that covers most of the beer. Body is completely black when held up to light other than the brown edges. Thin spidery lacing is left, but that lacing does unfortunately dissipate slightly over time.

Aroma is intense roasted malts giving off a light roasted black coffee, including the bright fruity notes, but there is a definite malty sweetness to it. There is a very slight yeasty funk. Interesting and the fact it comes off as a light roast coffee makes me wonder if it was intentional.

Taste follows the aroma very strongly, but adds a bit of nuance. The light roasted black coffee with a bit of caramelized sweetness is right there. The fruitiness is definitely more pronounced than a light roasted specialty coffee, and is likely brought by the yeast, and offers a contrasting brightness to the dark roasted malts. Very full, and very unique, but the fruity yeast notes work, and are probably more close to traditional 19th century stouts than even guinness.

Feel is incredibly full and is a fantastic nighttime sipper. Not so sticky that it can't be toned down with water, but there is a definite dryness that sticks around beyond the full mouth coating malty feel left by the long finish.

This is again overall quite unique but enjoyable. Could be more drinkable for the style, as it isn't trying to be an English stout, but it is very interesting to drink, and tasty as long as you aren't looking to replace a Guinness.
