Where It All Began
Three Notch'd Brewing Co. (Craft Kitchen & Brewery)

L: Had this beer on-tap at World of Beer, poured into a pint glass. Had a dark brown / black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a half inch of creamy, tan-colored, somewhat long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.

S: A slightly underwhelming aroma of malt, chocolate, oak, oatmeal, and coffee.

T: Tasted of a smidgen of chocolate (could've used more), a whole lot of malt (the dominant ingredient), some oak barrel notes, light hops, a little oatmeal, and a tinge of coffee. The main problem here is that none of the ingredients make any impression; there's a definite blandness to the flavor. Nothing memorable here.

F: A decent amount of carbonation with a dry, smooth finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A wildly uneven beer with some good attributes. Could've been better.
