Bottle from beernads. A nice even brown with orange/amber hues and mocha head. Nose is toasted, slightly nutty malt with gentle notes of cocoa/roast malt and almost a slight hazelnut/vanilla character. Light plastic/grassy hops. Flavor tends towards the slightly sweet with gentle molasses/caramel syrup, toasted malt, and bitter cocoa. Faintest of hop presence. Other than being a touch sweet, pretty sessionable for the ABV. No booziness to speak of. Good all-around brew.
