Jul 13, 2007 Head (if there was one) faded to wisps of film over a deep black/cola brown body. Coffee roasts dominate aroma. Sharp mouth which could be fuller/thicker. (Somehow it becomes more dense as it warms.) Well-roasted malt flavor, lightly smoked, touching upon Rauchbier persona. I can see similarities drawn to Guinness FES, but that beer has a heightened sweetness and a tad more chocolate. ABV remains well-hidden.
