Bottle via UD in drop off trade. Ser, you da man! Black and biting at start. black patent roasted mostly. Body grows as it warms and all the nasty biting bits go away. No lacing. Head is splotch and filmy. Medium tan lily pads of carbonation. Slick and hardly a bit of alcohol is noticeable as it is consumed. My back feels great!..Tasty with Ramen noodles.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Had a 2013 and a 2012 side by side. Both versions smelled very roasty. The older version did not have as much of a boozy smell. Noticeable taste difference between the two, more so as it warmed. The older version is much smoother, although both versions are very drinkable for 12%. I prefer the older, smoother version because the malty dark flavors come through much more.
