Comments
tasty beer
Appearance: Poured in glass; very dark brown- not black with about 1 inch tan head
Aroma: Coffee notes with hints of Chocolate
Flavor: roasted, More coffee than chocolate but nothing overpowering with touch of sweet
Mouthfeel: Thick, full with a touch of brisk carbonation
Overall Impression: Very-very tasty beer, one of my favs
Comments: Do yourself a favor- Pull this beer out of the fridge for about 45 mins before drinking. I made the mistake with the first one I had- thinking it had little flavor. Should be had at about 52-58 degrees.
