Bottle, pours black with a medium dark brown head, fades quickly to a light film. Aroma is big roast and cocoa. Flavor is much the same, big roast, black strap molasses and burnt sugars. Semi sweet cocoa finishes with a little smoke. Really nice stuff with just the right amount of carbonation.

Opaque dark brown - black beer. Small dark tan head. Palate is light and dry. Dry dark malt, little cream. However the malt is over roasted making for an unpleasant burned flavour. Finishes tangy and dry.
