Another superb beer from the good folks at 8 Wired. Hugely complex and excellently tasty. Would go well with any strong main or a chocolate, coffee, vanilla based desert. but can stand on it’s own with ease.

[5/4/13] Draught at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. Black with a brown head. Aroma of roastiness and quite a bit of hops, a bit herbal and piney. Rather bitter flavor with some roastiness, sweet chocolate and piney hops. Rather full-bodied. Good stuff.

Now, this is how I like my sweet chocolate: backed up by some bitterness. Very well balanced beer, the initial sweet chocolate never becomes cloying becaused it is beautifully complimented by the coffee, cocoa, and hint of vanilla. 10%!? Be careful!
