Dark brown color. Candied, inviting aromas of toasted roasted pumpkin seeds, coffee, cacao, and burnt caramel with a creamy, vibrant, finely carbonated, dry medium-to-full body and a graceful, subtle, medium-long roasted barley, grilled pumpernickel, whole wheat pastry, and carob ice cream finish. this has the boldness of a Dry Stout, the cleanliness of a Lager, and is equally appealing to fans of both.
