Pours a pitch black body with a one finger tight bubbled chocolate brown head. The nose is roasty with a good bit of fruitiness and sweetness. Notes of chocolate and dark caramel. The flavor is a mix of caramel sweetness, dark fruits, deep roast, bitter chocolate and a touch of alcohol. Long lingering plum fruitiness and burnt coffee on the finish. Mouthfeel is thick and oily with nice soft fine natural feeling carbonation. This is maybe the best domestic foreign stout that I’ve come across. Delicious. travita (1970), Frisco, Texas, USA
