Black color. Impressive aroma, with chocolate, Bourbon vanilla, cookies, roasted malt. Strong body, the mouthfeel is quite oily; strong chocolate flavor, sweet, with light vanilla and evident roasted malts too; the final actually has more roasted malts, which I don’t like too much. Strong bitterness. An excellent beer anyway, well balanced.
