Tap @ Black Bottle. Pours a bit hazy, dark reddish appearance with a dark brown head. Somewhat floral, a bit soapy, light chocolate, rye, just a touch fruity, herbal aroma. Roasted dark chocolate, light caramel, rye, a touch fruity, floral hoppy flavor with a floral, somewhat bitter finish. Alcohol is hidden well. Not bad.

On draft at BBB. Black with a thick, light tan head that diminished slowly and left nice lacing. Big roasted malt aroma, rye, toasty, mild coffee, pine, light citrus, light chocolate, complex. Medium plus body, creamy and very smooth. Starts with the roasted malts and finishes hoppy with a spicy rye character. Great balance. It hides the ABV rather well. Impressive.
