Bottle 355ml, a dark beer with a good brownish head. Nose is on dark chocolate, barley wine like. Aroma is dry with intense bitter chocolate body with a slightly vinous note, intense dark malt aftertaste. What a rich body and perfume for a low alcohol level, not too astringent, good brew.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle Pours a dark dark red, almost black. Lower amounts of carbonation and a thin off white head. The taste is earthy and not like a german bock, it is very different. It has some chocolate and raisin notes and some green earthy hops. There is a pretty clean finish and it is a lot to chew on but a little thin on the back end. I liked it but not wild about it.
