3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Poured a deep cola brown color with ruby highlights and a thick, dense tan head that slowly recede and left some thick spotty lacing. Aroma of chocolate, light roast, coffee, and a soft dark fruitiness (light plum). Smooth, sweet entry with some chocolate and a light fruitiness that leads into a moderate roastiness with more hints of sweet fruit (plum) that give way to an espresso-like coffee character that lingers into the finish where it pairs with a faint, lightly hoppy bitterness. Low carbonation and smooth, slick mouth feel. Overall, a very drinkable beer that does a nice job balancing flavor and weight on the palate.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured quick and left a nice lingering tan head. Not black but very brown with red highlights when held to the light. Nose is sweet with a caramelly backing supported by prunes, raisins, light roast, and maybe some hops but is light. Taste is balanced between some light malts, caramel and roasts. Kinda light bodied and is finishes fast and clean. Light bitterness shows. Not bad but not my favorite. easy drinker.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12oz bottle pours an opaque brown body with a bubbly tan head. The aroma is outstanding, mostly sweet caramel and chocolate malt. The flavor is not as sweet as the aroma would have you think, though it certainly plays its part (though, I think it’s mostly coming through the nose). There’s a hoppiness in the flavor, which is very welcome, but the standout component is the coffee-like roast and bitterness. All of these components play incredibly well together to form an amazing brew. One of my favorites, definitely.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep red with a lasting head. Maybe some caramel, dark malts, wants me to dive in. The beer leaves a taste with me that just makes me want more and more, perhaps I’ve found a new go to session? I’m tasting a bit of coffee maybe... overall delicious.

Most excellent stuff. Quite rich and flavorful. Plenty of mouth feel but lets up just the right amount. Very drinkable. Serving: Bottle
