Kudos to these guys for making such a fine looking beer. Great head, elegant lace, interesting to look at. After that just a regular macro style-rip ground out by the big boys trying to get a piece of the micro-styled market.

Some chalkiness and chocolate like you'd expect from the style, but understated. Thin mouthfeel. Slightly boozy nose without any of the other stuff you'd expect from a brew of this type.

Drinkable but uninspired. Too subdued.

The beer poured a translucent mahogany colour with a short lived bubbly head. The aroma is weak nutty malt, and some hops. The mouthfeel is weak bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour is very similar to a watered down cold coffee.
