12 oz bottle from elmatador00. Black with a thin beige head. Nice almond and choco-coffee nose, vanilla and roasty malt. Silky body, albeit a tad thin. Flavor follows the nose, a pretty pleasant beer.

The pour was dark brown/black. The head was thin, creamy, light biege. The aroma had some amaretto, was sweet, caramel, chocolate. The flavor was roasty, tart, coffee, malty, chocolate. The palate was average. The finish was tart.

Bottle; pours a thick and dark brown with an average brown head. Surprisingly good aroma; chocolate, caramel, vanilla and almonds/toffee. Pretty easy drinking beer. Roasted malt, semi-sweet chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Flavor could have been a bit fuller and more pronounced, but I was surprised by the quality of this.

The aroma is sweet and lightly chocolate accented and while I know from the label it has almonds, I’m not sure I would have picked it out as specifically that. It almost seems to be more toasted coconut to me than almond, but regardless there is a sweet nut0esque aroma that while low key, is nice. The body is a dark ruby brown to near black and holds a rapidly diminishing thin tan head. Thinnish fore, lightly acidic, astringent, roasted grains, watery back end. Sweet, yet roasty and toasty with some mild nut notes. Too thin for my tastes, but drinkable enough.
